I was going to say, let's have another cocktail, but then some of you start thinking of real cocktails and blame me for reminding you of those yummy drinks.
Well, we're not going to have drinks here, but you are welcome to see some art pieces I photographed over the past few years and never had the time to post about them.
László Hunyadi - Viktor Román
When it comes to sculptures or busts of famous people, personalities, most of us, most likely like to look at similarities between the artwork and the person featured, which is natural to some extent, but this is art, and art is not (always) about giving back reality 100%. In this case, I must admit, I had no idea who Viktor Román was, after a search I found out he was a Hungarian sculptor from Transylvania who lived and worked in Bucharest and then in France. There's a photo of the sculptor here, so I can see some similarities, but it doesn't matter. I judge the artwork as it is and even though it's a rough style, I like it.
László Hunyadi - Little Girl
It's the same artist, but a very different, stone statue, not like the previous bronze one. I think the beauty of it consists in its simplicity.
László Hunyadi - László Szabédi
This is the third sculpture and as you can see, they are all different as far as the raw material is regarded and the style as well. If I were to choose one sculpture, this would be the one. Basically it's not really a sculpture, it's a plate, I think that's what it is called, but it is still sculpted. Such plated you often see on buildings, statues, less in homes, but I like it.
It's so amazing seeing two artists exhibiting together, especially when they are husband and wife. Here the husband is a sculptor and the wife is a textile artist, a very talented one.
István József Bugyi - The Dynamics Of Fresh Wind
This was a series of four artworks, but I could only find these three. It's a very interesting topic and to be honest, I'd be in trouble if I'd have to create such an artwork. I can only speak for myself, but only know how the wind is usually illustrated from the story books.
Here all three works are kind of chaotic, which is basically the main idea as wind brings chaos and from this perspective, both are great. I'd go with the first one because I like watercolor.
Timár Zsolt - Montana El Chinyero I
Although reflection and inadequate light takes away of its value, the original photo is a fantastic one. I love it when almost the whole area is mono colored, then something stands out, let it be a tree or a bush, like in this case. It's not easy to find such a scene.
Timár Zsolt - Múlagljúfur Canyon
Tamás Vass - Caryatides (1967)
A caryatid is a sculpted female figure serving as an architectural support taking the place of a column or a pillar supporting an entablature on her head. The Greek term karyatides literally means "maidens of Karyai", an ancient town on the Peloponnese. Karyai had a temple dedicated to the goddess Artemis in her aspect of Artemis Karyatis: "As Karyatis she rejoiced in the dances of the nut-tree village of Karyai, those Karyatides, who in their ecstatic round-dance carried on their heads baskets of live reeds, as if they were dancing plants".
An atlas or atlantid or telamon is a male version of a caryatid, i.e., a sculpted male statue serving as an architectural support. s
Caryatides are a lot of fun in art, have seen them featured countless times, but not like this. As you can see, they are featured free and not supporting any architectural structure.
The other interesting detail to note here is the style of the graphics. Can't be sure, but I think this graphics style is specific to the '70s. It's a bit rough for my taste, but appreciate it.
Tamás Vass - September Flower (1976)
This is a complex one, or I just want to see it as complex. Horse chestnut implicitly means September - October as that's when the pods of horse chestnuts are starting to open and the horse chestnuts to fall on the ground. That's the leaf of the horse chestnut. There's a little play with the colors here. At first glance you'd think it's Andy Warhol style, but it's not, or I don't think it is as for that you'd need 4 different shades, while here you only have two and the position of the portraits are not respecting the style either.
This composition somehow takes me back in time and seems nostalgic to me. Maybe the artist was nostalgic and dedicated this piece to his mother, grandmother.

I was enchanted by this series of three, although I prefer the first one, but I looked at all three works and enlarged them and then moved them away, and I love finding faces in them. It is difficult to achieve something like this, but within the chaos, there is a lot of beauty. It is my favourite!😍
You nailed it. It is an organized chaos if you like, a complex one and nothing to do with randomness, as chaos happens in real life. I liked them too and I wish I could have taken better photos, but glass is always killing me.
Opportunities arise from chaos if we are creative. It is necessary in real life; it develops our minds.
Despite the glass, the photos are excellent!
Lots of nice shapes and paintings!
Yes, I agree, some really talented works on display.
Out of the sculptures I like the first one, the full head, it must have taken a lot of skill to make it like that
My pick on this post is this one
The reflections are a pain there but still I can see it's a great photo, the landscape reminds me Lanzarote, vulcanic, yet life still finds a way with a tree alone in all that stones, so beautiful
You picked a nice one and you're right. I know Italy has plenty of volcanic scenes like this and it's not only beautiful, but very beneficial for the soil, agriculture and livestock. I know pigs eat the volcanic rocks which are full of important minerals.
Pigs eat volcanic rock??? I never heard of this, i know they eat everything like human bones because mafia used them to make bodies disappear but rocks
Yes. They feel the minerals in the rocks and their meat tastes better. It's a fact.
It reminds me the cat of my parents, he had fiv (I don't know if in English it's still that name), not curable illness, and he used to lick a wall because of the minerals he lacked
Yeah, animals know these things. Cows for example know which plantbl is good and which isn't. They don't eat those that can make them sick. They are smart.
This is art, dear friend. Sometimes for think, others for enjoy it, always depends of the people's emotions. But certainly when you see it your mind start to work in so many ways trying to understand it. Thanks for share it 🙏🏾💙
It is art indeed and it always puts your mind to work.
Thanks @jlinaresp!
