A Portrait in Blue 1920

"A Portrait in Blue," painted in 1920 by Hungarian artist János Kmetty (1889-1975), is a striking example of portraiture characterized by its bold use of color and simplified forms. The portrait, likely of a woman, features a focused gaze, her features outlined in deep blues and greens. Kmetty, known for his explorations of Hungarian folk art and his distinctive brushwork, imbues the subject with a sense of both strength and vulnerability, capturing a poignant moment in time. The artwork's impactful use of color and expressionistic style exemplify Kmetty's artistic vision.
