Public Photo Library of the artist Janos Viski. J Viski.
JANOS VISKI was born in 1891, in Szokolya, Hungary. This brilliant Hungarian artist studied at the Academy of Fine Arts under Tividar Zempleny directions. Died,1961. If you are one of the proud owner’s of any of his paintings please feel free to up load them here. His first exhibition dates from 1913 -although there is some people date it from 1921- By admiring his works, one can easily see-through his paintbrushes, and feel his passion for animals, especially horses. According to many Art Specialists, it was not just the animal he was interested in but also its features and particular movement, which he successfully managed to portray in his works.
Forms and colours were his main tools to express himself, animals and landscapes, his passions. His works reflect that supreme blend, fantastically achieved by a gifted artist. Featuring motion and forms as well as colour effects in open-air locations, his most frequent model were horses.
His pictures express strength; and a careful admirer would discover a great impressionist effect. His paintings could and can be admired several Museums, galleries and show rooms all over Hungary, and many of them can be found in private collections in Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina. For in his quest to admire light and natural beauty, he travelled several times to these southern countries on study trips.
In 1936 he was awarded a Grand Prix at the 1936 Salon des Beaux Arts in Paris.
Even the world famous online auction house eBay has had some interesting auctions on him, though sadly these were not as well appreciated as they should… However, most of the Viski enthusiasts –just like us- were surprised and quite disappointed to see a fake Viski –from a Scandinavian Country- auction being held online, and sold as an original…
Anyway, once again Sotheby’s will hold a great auction on Sporting Artists, in which our beloved Viski is most likely to appear, and we hope for all Viski enthusiasts to find this fabulous event an opportunity for Viski to enter the grand hall of the 20th century artists.
