Description
The work "Trees with electric light in Jajce - 1903" by Tivadar Csontváry Kosztka is a fascinating representation of the unique talent of this Hungarian artist. The painting, like many of Csontvary's creations, transcends the simple categories of its time; It is presented as an ethereal vision where the natural world and emerging technology coexist in a visual harmony.
When observing the painting, One cannot avoid marveling with Csontvary's skill by representing the interaction between artificial lighting and nature. The scene seems captured during the twilight, a moment of transition where the day and night are intertwined. In "trees with electric light in haha", trees form the focus of the composition, illuminated almost magical by electric light, which was a novelty at that time. Artificial light is reflected in foliage and trunks, creating a dramatic contrast and highlighting tree forms almost supernatural.
The most notable color in this paint is the delicate and precise use of green and bluish tones that are mixed with deep and mysterious shadows. Yellowing accents of electric lamps provide points of interest and glow in the scene, giving a feeling of warmth and humanity against the mysterious forces of nature. This color management, together with tonal gradation, demonstrates Csontváry's ability to capture not only the physical appearance of the scene, but also its emotional atmosphere.
Although painting does not include human figures, the environment illuminated by electric light suggests an implicit human presence, an intervention in the natural landscape that was a recurring theme at the time of industrialization and technological progress. The absence of characters does not decrease the emotional content of the work; On the contrary, it intensifies the feeling of stillness and contemplation, allowing the viewer to fully enter the landscape.
