Landscape from Košice

Július Jakoby was a non-conformist "hermit" painter, who independently anticipated artistic solutions close to new figuration, art brut and wild painting. His paintings were characterised by their spontaneous character, barbarian sense of colour and an existential grotesque, caricaturing and ironising of the human world. Even his non-figural works and landscapes are often swirling spectacles of temperamental brush strokes with a strange sense of ominous foreboding.
