István Csók Sold at Auction Prices

Painter, b. 1865 - d. 1961

István Csók (13 February 1865, Sáregres – 1 February 1961) was a Hungarian Impressionist painter. Csok lived and exhibited in Paris for a portion of his life. He became most famous in Hungary for his nudes, portraits, and landscapes of the Lake Balaton. Csok had many international exhibitions in such cities as Rome, San Francisco, Pittsburgh, and London. He won the Kossuth Prize twice.

Though rarely seen in the West nowadays, an example of Csók's work can be glimpsed behind the opening credits of the 1971 film Countess Dracula. This is an 1896 painting showing serial killer Countess Elizabeth Bathory enjoying the torture of some young women: in an inner courtyard of one of her castles, naked girls are being drenched with water and allowed to freeze to death in the snow. The original painting was destroyed in World War II.

Verso: on canvas on stretcher multiple handwritten indicated as well as with old gallery/exhibition labels (illegible). Very min. damaged, rest. Frame. The Hungarian landscapist István Csók (1865-1961) began his education at the drawing school of Budapest before continuing his studies at the Munich academy of arts. After that he went to Paris where he was greatly influenced by the avant-gardists, inspiring him to overcome pictorial realism. Back in Budapest he found his distinctive post-impressionistic style, which makes him one of the most popular artists of Hungarian modern art.Valued by present-day collectors in particular are his nudes and landscapes. heutigen Sammlern geschätzt. Das vorliegende Gemälde ist in die reife Schaffensphase des The offered painting dates in the artist`s mature creative phase. In its colourful interpretation of the mythological 'Leda and the Swan' motif it represents Csók`s individual stylistic signature. The scene of a female nude with peacock was likely arranged at lake Balaton in summer, one of the artist`s favorit motifs. In its intentional disregard of compositional conventions it is a characteristic work of the young modern era. Colours are cheerfully contrasted - read hair with green lawn and blue water - and united in the peacock`s dazzling shades.
