More about this artwork

Cyprián Majerník's painting titled "Refugees" (1944) powerfully captures the harrowing atmosphere of displacement experienced during times of war. This evocative artwork depicts a group of individuals on a relentless journey, perhaps fleeing from the calamities of wartime or the persecution that so often accompanies it.The scene is set against a tumultuous background of swirling skies and a rugged terrain, suggesting the chaotic and unstable world from which these figures are escaping. The earthy tones and brushstrokes convey a sense of urgency and despair, complemented by a heavy, cloud-laden sky that seems to press down upon the travelers.In the foreground, a horse-drawn wagon carries several figures; their faces marked by fatigue and concern, underlying the dire circumstances of their plight. To the right, a group of people on horseback moves alongside those on foot, each figure depicted in a style that communicates their vulnerability and resilience. The expressions and postures speak of a solemn narrative, a poignant reminder of the struggle for survival and the universal desire for safety and peace.Majerník’s work is not just a visual record but an emotional portrayal that connects the viewer with the profound impacts of displacement and the human condition.
