Mountain Landscape 1930

Adalbert Erdeli painted this mountain landscape, we don't know exactly when, using oil on canvas. Look at that sea of greens! It’s not just a landscape, it’s an exercise in colour, a symphony of verdant hues. You can see Erdeli relishing the act of painting, each brushstroke a deliberate, loving application of pigment to surface. It's as if the mountains themselves are exhaling a green mist, blurring the lines between earth and sky. I love the little dark patch near the bottom – is it a shadow, a bush, or just a dab of pure pigment? It anchors the whole composition, giving our eye a place to rest amidst all the atmospheric perspective. Erdeli reminds me of Cezanne, he used colour to build form and create depth. Ultimately, art is about seeing, feeling, and making marks. It's a process, an ongoing conversation between the artist, the materials, and the world.
