Study for Refugees 1936

Cyprián Majerník's 1936 "Study for Refugees" is a somber pencil drawing capturing the plight of displaced individuals. The artwork showcases a group of figures, likely refugees, huddled together near a cart pulled by a thin horse, their faces obscured and their bodies hunched over. The somber palette and gestural lines convey a sense of hardship and displacement, highlighting the artist's interest in social commentary. The sketch's unfinished nature suggests it was part of a larger project documenting the human cost of displacement, a recurring theme in Majerník's work.
