In front of the house 1910 - 1915

Ľudovít Čordák made this painting, ‘In front of the house’, with oils, and it’s like a dance of colours. Look at how the texture and colour describe the house and the light around it. The paint is thick, you can almost feel it, and the blues and greens create a mood that's both quiet and alive. Notice the way the brushstrokes move – they're not just filling in shapes, they're building the form and atmosphere. See the tree in the middle? It’s like a bold stroke that holds the whole thing together, connecting the earth to the sky. Čordák reminds me of other artists like Gustave Courbet, who were also interested in capturing the everyday world with such intensity. This piece isn’t about perfect representation, it’s about the experience of seeing and feeling, and the magic that happens when paint meets canvas. It invites us to see the world with new eyes, open to the beauty of the fleeting moment.
