Horseman (1930-as évek dereka)

Pekáry began designing and making gobelines, or as he called them "image-tapestries", in 1932-1933, creating a new style in the genre. His works of this type were first exhibited at the Frankel Salon with István Gádor in 1933, and then in the same line-up with fresh works at the Tamás Gallery in 1937. Pekáry's carpets are characterised by delicate colours and perfect materiality, in which folk art and the motifs and experiences of folk weaving appear in a new guise. Brownish, yellowish, black tones predominate, only here and there enlivening some compositions with larger blue surfaces. The rugs are figurative, but often the joyful rhythm of the figures only hints at a natural memory through a simplifying technique.
