Endre Bálint, Oil Painting, Laundress at the Shore, 20th C
The present oil painting is the work of the Hungarian painter, graphic artist and writer Endre Bálint (1914-1986). The abstract depiction shows a laundress at the shore, and to her right, a woman with a dog. The painting is characterized by a fine iridescent color range, which is dominated by a delicate rose-tone. A planar painting style and black contour lines are further striking features of Balint's composition.



The painting is signed lower right, ‘Bálint E.’. It is in very good condition, showing only minimal framing marks. The wooden frame has only light wear marks, too. The overall dimensions, framed, are 36.5 x 46.5 cm. The panel measures 30 x 40 cm.



Endre Bálint (1914-1986)

From 1930 to 1934, Endre Bálint studied at the School of Applied Arts in Budapest. In 1945, he founded the artist group ‘European School‘. In 1947, he took part in the second surrealist World Exhibition in Paris. Under this influence, he integrated mythological and anthropomorphic figures in his paintings since the late 1940s. From 1957 to 1961, Bálint lived in Paris. In addition to his artistic work, Bálint was also active as a writer. (cko)
