Houses 1922

"Houses" (1922) by Hungarian artist Istvan Szönyi (1894-1960) is a striking ink drawing depicting a simple, yet evocative, landscape scene. The black and white composition showcases a row of houses, including a prominent building with an arched entrance, set against a muted, cloudy sky. The artist’s loose, gestural brushstrokes lend a sense of immediacy to the scene, capturing the essence of the subject in a few quick strokes. The drawing is currently housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
