Leon Alex (Löwinger Sándor)

Party

Pencil, paper, 26 x 18 cm

Part of the European interwar intellectuals formed in the interwar period - including the artist Leon Alex - will have a left-wing political orientation, implicitly assuming a critical position towards the bourgeois class.

In this work, the bourgeois class is represented as a uniformed mass of people whose lives are reduced to the routine of lush blind consumption.

In works of this type, the bourgeoisie is represented as a morally degraded class, which unbridledly wastes its resources on empty entertainment, namely parties with a lot of drinks, expensive clothes and prostitution.

The work reproduces in an expressionist way the vices of the interwar capitalist society, defined by opulence and excess. The characters seem to be subjugated by their weaknesses
