JPEG file comment | NAGY BALOGH János
(1874, Budapest - 1919, Budapest) Kubikusok 1910-es évek eleje Olaj, vászon, 107 x 82 cm Magyar Nemzeti Galéria, Budapest Reménytelen nyomorgások közepette, szobafestõként tengette életét. Rendes tanulmányokban alig volt része, lényegében autodidakta. Mûvészete némiképpen a korai kubista törekvésekkel rokon, legjobb képeit geometriai felépítés, szilárd kompozíció, tompa, világos színek jellemzik. Az önarcképek hosszú sorát festette. Leghûbb modellje édesanyja volt, s képeinek témájául szerény otthonuk részletei és egyszerû tárgyai szolgáltak. Életmûvének jelentõs részét alkotja a kubikosokról 1910-14 között festett ciklus, a kispesti lakásukhoz közel esõ Wekerle-telep építése szolgáltatta hozzá a témát. Nagy Balogh szinte minden idejét a munkások közt töltötte, színvázlatokat készített róluk, rajzolta õket. Logikus, tiszta komponálási mód, a tömbszerûség hangsúlyozása jellemzi ezt a mûvét is, melyben elsõsorban J. F. Millet mûvészetének hatása érezhetõ. NAGY BALOGH, János (1874, Budapest - 1919, Budapest) Navvies beginning of 1910s Oil on canvas, 107 x 82 cm Hungarian National Gallery, Budapest For a great part of his life, János Nagy Balogh lived in conditions of extreme poverty and earned his living as a decorator. He had hardly any formal education, being a self-taught man. His art bears a slight resemblance to early Cubism and his best works have a constructive arrangement, sound composition and blunt, light colours. He painted a long series of self-portraits, and his mother also sat for him on many occasions. Thei home and modest possessions were the subject of many of his works. Between 1910 and 1914 he painted a great series of navvies, and this forms a significant part of his oeuvre. The series was inspired by the building of the Wekerle estate near their home in Kispest, a poor suburb of Budapest. Nagy Balogh spent most of his time among the workmen, making colour sketches and study drawings of the labouring navvies as they pushed wheelbarrows and shovelled and flattened the suburban ground. This work, "Navvies", shows the strong influence of Millet's art. It is characterized by a logical, simple arrangement, a simplification of visual sensation, and emphatic block-life forms.
