In the painting “Villon’s Lover” we observe the radiant image of a medieval maiden, lover to the 15th century French poet François Villon. Villon was an alluring character whose vagabond lifestyle amongst the outcasts of Paris during the waning years of the middle ages matched his novel poetic style. He wrote both satirically and seriously about the earthiness and ribaldry of his time, mingling his poetic words with the restless individuality of the coming Renaissance. This striking maiden won the passionate love of Villon and surely many of his more amorous writings were inspired by her beauty. Here we see her gentle face softly illuminated, while waves of light and shadow surround her delicate form, echoing the feelings for Villon that quiver within her. - (ES.038)Endre Szasz - Villon's Lover - ES.038Dimensions: 22.5" (57.2cm) high x 14.5" (36.8cm) wide Collection: Contemporary Art Medium: Enamel On Porcelain   « Less

In the painting “Pope” we observe the figure of an old pope, his wizened face and somber eyes testifying to the inevitable tolls of time. His aged image appears trapped within the confines of the swirling light and shadow that envelops his physical being as well as his soul. A sense of humble resignation passes over him, for both the real and imagined battles of the faith may now be somehow too overwhelming to combat. We feel a sense of compassion for this vintage figure, as he reveals to us a weariness and vulnerability that can touch us one and all, saint and sinner alike. - (ES.039)Endre Szasz - Pope - ES.039Dimensions: 22.5" (57.2cm) high x 14.5" (36.8cm) wide Collection: Contemporary Art Medium: Enamel On Porcelain   « Less

With concentration bordering on the extreme, an aged man contemplates the vision of an enshrined bullet in Endre Szasz's painting “Bullet”. For this desperate man the bullet is a symbolic weapon used to fight his enemy, the wicked monsters that ravage his soul. The attribute of heroes, saints and demigods, a weapon represents a powerful force--its strength all-pervasive in the struggle against evil. Perhaps this man will find his weapon, the unique armor he needs to revive the hero from within and salvage hisdistressedanddamagedsoul.-(ES.041)Endre Szasz - Bullet - ES.041Dimensions: 15" (38.1cm) high x 23" (58.4cm)wide Collection:Contemporary Art Style: Endre Szasz Medium: Enamel On Porcelain   « Less

In Endre Szasz's painting “United Nations” we observe the surrealistic image of four figures, their heads and bodies overlaying and interacting upon each other in a most imaginative fashion. Potent symbolism in the form of highly accentuated hands adds an element of the spiritual to this painting. One man holds his hand to his breast in the attitude of a sage, while another raises his hand in a fashion that symbolizes voice and song. Yet another holds a light in his hand, its brilliant luminosity representing the cosmic force, the creative energy that surges through us all. United in their powers of the spirit, these figures emanate an assurance that mankind is capable of a connected vision--he can see all things in one. - (ES.043Endre Szasz - United Nations - ES.043Dimensions: 14" (35.6cm) high x 20.5" (52.1cm) wide Collection: Contemporary Art Medium: Pen & Ink On Paper   « Less

In the painting “Communicative Power” we are witness to the spirited forces that exist when two individuals share their souls. A pair of figures is face to face, their eyes interlocked in a voiceless communication that transcends the confines of language. Between them stands a flower, a symbol of the center, and hence the image of the soul. While one of the figures reaches out to touch the other, we too reach out to embrace the sentiment that emanates from this most sensitive painting. - (ES.044)Endre Szasz - Communicative Power - ES.044Dimensions: 14" (35.6cm) high x 20.5" (52.1cm) wide Collection: Contemporary Art Medium: Pen & Ink On Paper   « Less

With a regal visage, “The Fox Lady” proudly wears her animal crown. The viewer soon becomes drawn in by not only the lady's gaze, but also by the fox's. The portrait style recalls works by renaissance masters, yet Szasz develops it into something new, something surreal. - (ES.088) Endre Szasz - The Fox Lady - ES.088Dimensions: 22" (55.9cm) high x 19" (48.3cm) wide Collection: Contemporary Art Medium: Oil On Plastic Board   « Less

With curly hair of crimson gold and eyes the color of sapphires, this enchanting young lady gazes forward at us. Her lips gently embrace an eternal silence. Deep waves of thoughts thrusting forth from her soul and surfacing upon the shores of her eyes break the silence. A pearl lies in her hair, perhaps a token of truth. Her skin flushes with anticipation the future may hold. . .a promise which will unveil her true inner essence and calm the waters of her turbulent soul. - (ES.093)Endre Szasz - Madeleine - ES.093Dimensions: 12" (30.5cm) high x 12" (30.5cm) wide Collection: Contemporary Ar Medium: Oil On Wood   « Less

Eyes filled with wisdom and knowledge, this striking gentleman gazes upon us. With his full beard and red cap, adorned with pearls and thin airy feathers we quickly discern the importance this man held in his society. Possibly with the clergy or maybe he was a scholar. Regardless, Szasz’s portrayal insures that we realize that this figure was nothing less than insightful. - (ES.094)Endre Szasz - Insightful - ES.094Dimensions: 12" (30.5cm) high x 12" (30.5cm) wide Collection: Contemporary Art Medium: Oil On Wood   « Less
