Portretul informal feminin, Secolul XX

De la fragilitate la inovație

Reprezentările feminine în arta secolului XX reflectă emanciparea de gen specifică istoriei recente și reprezintă motivul pentru care onorăm în acest spațiu prezența femeii în pictura și sculptura modernă, atât ca autoare, cât și ca model clasic sau neconvențional. Existența energică a contrabasistei surprinse de Ștefan Szőnyi (1913-1967) într-un tablou de mari dimensiuni relevă personalitatea unei doamne educate și pasionate de muzică, magnificată de pictor  intr-unul din saloanele de artă timișorene de la începutul secolului XX. Portretele de copii realizate de artiști precum Adalbert Varga (1900- 1940), Nicolae Tonitza (1886 -1940) sau Oskar Szuhanek (1887-1972) prezintă abordări cromatice, anatomice și compoziționale moderne, în alcătuirea unor compoziții în care fragilitatea modelului devine sursă de inspirație.  

Informal female portrait, 20th century

From Fragility to Innovation

Female representations in 20th-century art reflect the gender emancipation of recent history and are the reason why we honour in this space the presence of women in modern painting and sculpture, both as authors and as classical or unconventional models. The energetic existence of the double bass player captured by Ștefan Szőnyi (1913-1967) in a large painting reveals the personality of an educated lady with a passion for music, magnified by the painter in one of the Timișoara art salons of the early 20th century. Portraits of children by artists such as Adalbert Varga (1900-1940), Nicolae Tonitza (1886-1940) and Oskar Szuhanek (1887-1972) show modern chromatic, anatomical and compositional approaches, in compositions in which the fragility of the model becomes a source of inspiration.
