Leon Alex (Löwinger Sándor)

Pastoral scenet

oil, cardboard, 69.9 x 49.3 cm

The painting is part of Leon Alex's lyrical creations. The melancholy state as well as the powerful emotional charge project the scene in an idyllic space, of which the artist, who lived in extremely precarious conditions, could only dream and struggle to achieve through the solidarity between lovers. The atmosphere is emphasized by a harmonious colouring and wide brushstrokes.
