Description

Posterity remembers Oszkár Glatz, born in 1872 in Budapest, as one of the greatest naturalist painters of the post-impressionist artistic movement in Baia Mare. In 1893, he became a student of the Julian Academy in Paris. After his travels to Munich, he joined the group of international artists gathered during the summer in Baia Mare. He was a member of the Magyar Impresszionisták és Naturalisták Köre (Union of Hungarian Impressionists and Naturalists) and took part in the founding of the Szinyei Merse Pál Society. 

Between 1912 and 1938, he was a professor at the Hungarian Academy of Fine Arts.  

Founded in 1896 by the prestigious Armenian painter Simon Hollósy, who was originally from Sighetu Marmației, The Painting Colony from Baia Mare gathered, throughout the years, an impressive number of artists from the most diverse cultural spaces of Europe. The colony offered a rich and diverse artistic heritage, contributing to the international wide-spreading of the Baia Mare phenomenon.

Oszkár Glatz had numerous exhibitions throughout Europe and his works can be found in the most  important museums and collections.

The two children are a common motif in Glatz’s work. He dedicated part of his work to representing children at different ages and in various poses. These themes show us that he was a young spirit, connected to childhood and nature, allowing himself to be inspired by this subject his whole life. The light and warm colours in his work amplify the expressiveness and kindness of the two children, managing to recreate the same atmosphere in the eyes of each viewer.

 

Născut în anul 1872 la Budapesta, Oszkár Glatz a rămas în memoria posterității drept unul dintre cei mai mari pictori naturaliști de stil post-impresionist ai mișcării artistice de la Baia Mare. În anul 1893, a devenit student al Academiei Julian din Paris, iar după călătoriile la München, s-a alăturat grupului de artiști internaționali reuniți pe timpul verii  la Baia Mare. A fost membru al Magyar Impresszionisták és Naturalisták Köre (Uniunea Impresioniștilor și Naturaliștilor Maghiari) și a participat la fondarea Societății Szinyei Merse Pál. Între anii 1912 și 1938, a fost profesor la Academia Maghiară de Arte Frumoase.

Fondată în 1896 de prestigiosul pictor armean Simon Hollósy, originar din Sighetu Marmației, Colonia de pictură de la Baia Mare a coagulat în jurul ei, de-a lungul timpului, un număr impresionant de artiști din cele mai diverse spații culturale ale Europei, oferind un patrimoniu artistic de o bogăție și diversitate remarcabile, precum și un caracter internațional fenomenului de la Baia Mare.

Oszkár Glatz a rămas un nume important în istoria artei maghiare prin inițiativele sale și prin talentul său. A avut numeroase expoziții în toată Europa, iar lucrările sale se află în colecțiile celor mai importante muzee.

Cei doi copii sunt un subiect des întâlnit în opera lui Glatz. A dedicat copiilor o bună parte din opera sa, reprezentându-i la diferite vârste și în varii ipostaze. Aceste tematici ne arată că a fost un spirit tânăr, legat de copilărie și natură, care s-a lăsat toată viața inspirat de acest subiect. Lumina transpusă în lucrarea și cromatica caldă amplifică expresivitatea și gingășia celor doi copii, reușind să recreeze aceeași atmosferă în ochii fiecărui privitor.
