Plate Still-life above Houses 1936

"Plate Still-life above Houses" is a 1936 ink drawing by Hungarian artist Lajos Vajda, known for his distinct style blending Surrealism with geometric abstraction. The artwork depicts a simple, stylized scene of three houses, with a plate and a knife seemingly floating above them. This juxtaposition of domestic objects with the village setting creates a surreal and dreamlike atmosphere, characteristic of Vajda's work. The stark lines and minimalist details in the drawing create a sense of detachment and isolation, further enhancing the surreal quality.
