Description
Budapest. Original gouache on board, unknown year.
Emerik Feješ is a Croatian-Serbian well known naive artist of urban landscapes. He became an artist in his 45th year and he painted at firs nudes, portraits, still life and genre scenes from suburban life. A few years later Feješ started exclusively with his well known motif of urban scenes. He took black and white postcards with monumental buildings as models and copied them, then magnified them, always adding something from his fantasy. Realistic appearance and the colors were subordinated to the artist’s fancy, so sometimes they were not like original landscapes. He painted the towns at the Adriatic Coast, the North Sea, England, Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland, France, India, etc. Feješ painted the capital and the most beautiful city of Hungary, Budapest. Like on the postcards, he shows us the landmark of the capitol, the Hungarian Parliament in the Pest side of the city and the banks of Danube, with his characteristical colorful palette.
