Steag is a 1949 unspecified by János Mattis-Teutsch, held at Székely National Museum.
This painting shows a tall, red-robed figure with a blue circle behind its head. The figure’s face is simple, with straight lines for features. The robe looks like it’s made of thick, overlapping shapes—some sharp, some rounded—all in deep reds and blues. The blue circle behind the head is the only bright spot, standing out against the muted background. The painting feels flat in some spots, with bold colors that don’t blend smoothly. Look up impasto next to see how thick paint can create texture like this.
Hungarian painter János Mattis-Teutsch made abstract compositions that play with bold shapes and soft colors.
