Boromisza Tibor was born in Bácsalmás (Hungary) on March 8, 1880, and lived until January 8, 1960, when he passed away in Szentendre, near Budapest. He first trained at Ferenczy Károly’s private school in Budapest in 1902 and then at the Artists’ Colony in Baia Mare starting in 1904. After a short period spent in Rome in 1905, he traveled through Munich to Paris, where he soon became disillusioned with the teaching methods of the Académie Julian and learned sculpture at the Académie Calarossi. Upon returning to Baia Mare, Boromisza proved to be among the artists who abandoned the plein-air naturalist style, being part of the organizers of the “neo” movement. The artist thus became the formulator of these principles, urging reforms in the independent school, entering into conflicts with his guild colleagues, and therefore leaving the Colony in 1914.
The landscape narrows down to a minimal frame, where the compositional register is built on the plastic subject of conifers, outlining the lines that depict the dynamicity of the branches leaning towards the ground, seemingly burdened by the long time during which winter ruled over the rich and perpetually green crowns. The artist captures the presence of nature in the city park through vibrant colors and meticulous details.
