Vajda Lajos Fekete Sugarak 1939 1939

Vajda Lajos made this drawing, Fekete Sugarak, in 1939, probably using ink or graphite on paper. It's full of these dark, radiating marks, like the energy of an X-ray but coming from the soul. Looking at it, I imagine Vajda trying to capture something raw, maybe a feeling of unease or a premonition. You can almost feel him working through something on the page; the lines aren’t quite descriptive, but more like searching. The shapes suggest objects but don't quite resolve, floating instead in a realm of half-formed ideas, or maybe the secret language of dreams. It reminds me of Guston's late work, where things emerge, hovering between abstraction and representation. It’s like he's wrestling with form, pushing and pulling it until it finds a temporary resting place. And isn't that what art is all about, this constant questioning and re-evaluating? Like a conversation between artists across time and space, each one adding their voice to the ongoing dialogue.
