The Farmyard
Original title: “Dvor”
1898 Kisoroszi–1971 Kisoroszi
About the work
The Farmyard — Ferenc Ujváry's signature theme: a Kisoroszi farmstead of the kind he painted all his life directly from his neighbours' holdings. A naturalist genre scene by the son of the famous Ignác Ujváry, bringing the Danube countryside of interwar Hungary into the collection; his farmyards are the most recognisable category of his work at auction.

About the artist
Ferenc Ujváry
1898 Kisoroszi–1971 Kisoroszi
A painter of the Danube landscape and sunlit courtyards with oleanders — and the son of a famous father: born in Kisoroszi on the Szentendre Island of the Danube to the painter Ignác Ujváry, he learned his craft at the Budapest Academy of Fine Arts (1919–1923) and directly in his father's studio. Alongside painting he pursued printmaking and photography; from 1924 he exhibited at the Műcsarnok. His naturalist-post-impressionist „leánderes udvarok“ — courtyards with oleanders — became his hallmark, and the Courtyard in our collection is precisely this subject.
