Amazing Graphics And A Poll
Today is the day to try out the poll option created by the PeakD guys. I finally found how to drop the post containing the poll in a community. Yes, I should have read their announcement post first. No problem, never too late.
Now that I have the poll option, I thought I'd show you the last batch of Tamás Vass, the most complex artist I've seen lately.
Longing
Although the body of the man you see looks like drying out, this graphics is very expressive, with a deep meaning. In my eyes, the man is longing for a thriving life, which is symbolized by the rose, the flower. But the flower is held by a snake, which we all know it could be venomous and those who know the bible, also know the snake is the symbol of temptation and sin. The skinny body most likely symbolizes his struggle in making a decision. I'm curious to know what are your thoughts on this. It's a very expressive artwork, sad as well, so as much as I admire it, would not hand it on my wall.
The Winner
If you go back and check what graphics I've posted from Tamás Vass so far, you will see that this pyramid shape is a recurring thing in his art. A bunch of people forming a pyramid.
The Winner is a special one in my eyes and symbolizes the road to the finish line, figuratively, of course. Every medal has two sides. The shiny one you see when the medal is handed out, which symbolizes the victory, but there's the other side, that symbolizes the pain, he tears that one has to endure till they get to the top. Look at the obstacles, the struggle these people have to go through to get to the top and only one can be the winner. It's a fantastic one.
Suburban Sunday
This graphics was created in 1977 and back then life was very different. Sunday was the only free day as Saturday was a workday, so people used their only free day to do what they pleased. The reason I like this so much is its simplicity. Look at the buildings, only simple lines, shadows, but used the right way.
If you're familiar with what life is like in a village, or in a small town, you can see that here, perfectly depicted.
Street In Brancovenesti
Pencil drawing on brown paper, which is something I love. It looks better than white paper, because the contrast between the two colors is not huge. Again, the simplicity of the drawing makes it so amazing!
Ode II.
There's a poem in Hungarian, just don't ask me to translate it :)) It's a nice one, but the drawing is more important here. Again, the keyword is simplicity, but that doesn't mean the drawing is simple. On the contrary. Look at the details, the man's hand for example, the foot of the lady, or her upper body. The artist managed to depict an intimate moment between the lovers. I love it!
Ode IV
This was a series of quite a few pieces, but only three were displayed at the exhibition. This one is just as exceptional as the first one.
I need to mention the frame, which is perfect for these drawings.
Ode VI.
Now that you saw all the three drawings, you realize this is a series depicting intimate moments in a couple's life. However, reading the text, the last one reveals the and suffering thoughts of one of them. I don't know if it's the woman or a man, but judging from the text, they are not together anymore. I mean the characters, of course. It's a series of remembering the past. A very nice one, but sad as well as breakups are never something to enjoy, especially when one of them is suffering and that's clearly the case here.
This is it for today. You have the poll at the bottom of the post, so please vote the one or the ones you like, as multiple choice is possible here.
Also, don't forget to share your thoughts in a comment too, so we can discuss them.

I went with and voted for Ode 2. I think all of the Ode artworks here are limited lithographically etched hand signed and numbered reproductions. Lithography is an art in and of itself. You can see the edge and how there is a depression before you get to the matting within the frame. Super cool.
All the artworks are very technically successful imho. But I liked your close up photo of Ode II best. Cheers
Lol, could be, you know more about art, than me, so thanks for letting me know. I'm glad you liked Ode II., it's cool one.
I just voted 🥰🥰🥰 I love how you described the meaning behind each piece. The depth and emotion in the artwork really come through in your words. Makes me appreciate the subtlety and thoughtfulness of the artist even more. Nice work ❤️❤️
I just describe what I see and what I understand. Who knows, maybe the artist meant something else :D
Excelentes obras amiga impresionante 🤩👏

I voted for Street In Brancovenesti. Not sure the poll is updating. I'm gonna refresh but right now it only shows my vote. I like the works by Tamas Vass like this one that show his range. Very different than his usual style.
I think I need to experiment with the poll more. Street In Brancovenesti is a very cool one.
Those works of art are awesome! I do like the Ode IV!
I agree with you on that and Ode IV is a nice one.
I don't know much about art. The Street in Brancovenesti probably had the best effect on me
You're not the only one to like that. I like it too and many others here :)
:-)
You did it, @erikah, the first post with a poll.
I probably misunderstood how to do it, but I couldn't vote multiple times, in the sense of making a hierarchy. I voted in the poll for The Winner and I would have voted for Suburban Sunday, but that would have deleted the vote for The Winner. Maybe you can enlighten me on how to do this...
I like these works better than Odes. They imply more things and feelings and invite more analysis and power to extract meanings, not necessarily the ones the painter wanted to convey.
Most likely it's not your fault. Maybe it's not possible, yet. I need to check, but I've been busy with trading lately.
Howeve, nice choices.
Thank you!
That sounds almost like a profession... Who would have thought of that when we chose to be in Steemit, now Hive? Congratulations and good results for you with trading!
Meeeeeee!!!! 😀 This has been my dream ever since I finished my studies. It's not a coincidence. Just needed a good mentor who teaches scalping and who I can trust. Now I have the best I could get and for free as well, which is a huge thing.
Thanks for the nice words Bluemoon, you're always so supporting.
Have a nice weekend 😊
Funny enough, the one that doesn't look appealing is the one that caught my eyes. Maybe it's because I'm currently watching a zombie movie. Lol😂
Thank you again for the insights, Suburban Sunday is just the picture I'd like to hang on my wall. It looks peaceful and yet there are some twists and perks in it. I like it very much.
😃
I like Suburban Sunday too. It's a very complex one, covering life fully.
At least now when I post this comment there is a tie, come on we have to break the tie hahaha I love the dynamic graph for the poll looks great
Lol, you're funny 😂
