JÁNDI DÁVID

1893 – 1944

The artist’s career began under the guidance of classical masters from Baia Mare. He
studied with Ferenczy Károly, Thorma János, and Réti István. Without having visited Paris, his art falls within the Neo style. He spent almost his entire life in Baia Mare, only traveling to Budapest during the winters. He visited Rome, Florence, Venice, and Taormina.
Through his well-balanced composition and fine details, Jandi David captures the essence and specific atmosphere of the place. Light and shadows are skillfully used to create depth and dimension in the artwork, adding an aura of mystery and charm. Every element of the landscape, from the buildings of Baia Mare to the banks of the Săsar River, is depicted with special attention to detail, contributing to the realism and authenticity of the scene. Although this realism was colored by a kind of generalization or metaphysical abstraction, his range of colors, includingultramarine blue, turquoise green, and intense red and yellow, shines with deep inner brilliance in the images. Here, the Săsar River seems like a path entering or emerging from the artist’s coloristic mysticism with shades of ultramarine.
