Description
When observing the painting "horses" by Hugó Scheiber, one immediately immerses himself in a vibrant and dynamic experience, so characteristic of the expressionist style of this remarkable Hungarian artist. Hugó Scheiber, born in Budapest in 1873, is widely recognized for his bold color use and his ability to capture the essence of his themes through simplified lines and shapes. In "horses", Scheiber displays all these skills with mastery.
The work presents a group of horses in motion, central idea that Scheiber manages to transmit with a surprising economy of details. The forms of the horses are stylized until almost the abstract, using curved and undulating lines that could well remember the fluidity of a ray in the sky. This stylistic choice coincides with art Deco trends, aesthetic movement whose principles Scheiber hugged, interpreting the figures with a geometric synthesis and a marked modernity.
The color plays an essential role in "horses." The tonalities of the paint vary from deep dark, which grant a remarkable stability to the composition, to color vibrant touches that unfounded life and energy to the scene. The bodies of the horses are delineated with a strong black contour, which gives them an imposing presence and also helps separate the figures from the abstract background. This technique highlights the theatricality of the scene, a characteristic that Scheiber dominated with great skill.
As for the background, a somewhat indefinite environment is perceived, which through the use of dark colors and deep shadows, emphasizes the sensation of movement and dynamism of horses. This contrast game not only amplifies the intensity of the scene but also promotes a feeling of depth and rhythm. Some could infer that this style of representation, almost scenographic, reflects the influences of futurism, where the capture of movement and speed were essential.
It is noteworthy that "horses" perfectly captures the essence for which Scheiber is known: his ability to communicate beyond the literal. Horses are not simply animal representations, but symbols of vigor and vitality. The stylization of its forms invites the viewer to see beyond the mere figure, and to interpret the strength, speed and freedom that emanate.
Although relatively few specific details about this particular work are known, the analysis of the style allows you to enroll it perfectly within the trajectory and the thematic obsessions of Scheiber. While the painting It does not offer characters in the human sense of the term, the figures of the horses acquire a monumental character that fills the composition with a powerful presence, almost human in its expressiveness.
In short, "horses" by Hugó Scheiber is a magnificent example of its creator's artistic genius. Its intrepid composition, its brave use of color and its ability to infuse dynamism in a scene make this work a vibrant testament of the influence of Art Deco and expressionism, something that deeply resonates with the spectators of both their time and ours.
