Still Life with Fish 1946

Endre Balint's "Still Life with Fish" (1946) exemplifies the artist's exploration of form and color. The composition features a single, prominent fish laid on a white surface, its black silhouette starkly contrasting with the surrounding hues. The background suggests a table with blue and white stripes, adding a sense of depth and dimensionality. Balint's use of pastel creates a soft, textured surface, enhancing the abstract nature of the artwork. The dynamic placement of the objects and the evocative use of color contribute to a sense of movement and dynamism, characteristic of Balint's post-war style.
