Portraits of the Last Golden Age is the latest major monograph on the work of Budapest-based artist Attila Szűcs (b.1967, Miskolc, Hungary), one of the leading painters in Hungary today. Following on from his 2016 monograph, Specters and Experiments, published by Hatje Cantz, Portraits of the Last Golden Age features a substantial in- conversation between Szűcs and Sándor Hornyik, an art historian, curator and senior research fellow at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Budapest. ‘Mankind is in an extremely tense situation,’ Szűcs asserts, ‘with the escalation of natural disasters, with artificial intelligence getting out of hand, the world can easily take a dystopian turn.’ During the course of the conversation, the two men discuss topics ranging from portraiture to posthumanism, meditation to metaphysics, intuition to the irrational.

In addition to presenting examples of Szűcs’ accomplished and haunting monochrome works on paper employing materials such as acrylic, charcoal and graphite, the publication features over seventy oil paintings made between 2019 and 2023 depicting dark dreamscapes and transcendental scenes of alternate realities. Disembodied hands grab or caress, as if apparitions from another dimension; sleeping figures exhale multi-coloured breath that verges on the supernatural; long golden hair flows down the side of a bed, pooling on the floor like an uncanny waterfall; heads float in dark water as if decapitated; otherworldly fires rage while apocalyptic explosions highlight environmental disasters and humankind’s seemingly unstoppable drive towards auto-destruction. Szűcs’ work is both an exploration into the human psyche and into the universe itself, much of which is as-yet unknown: quantum worlds and multiverses, the complexities of time and space, and the possibilities of an afterlife. Bleak yet beautiful, dark yet dazzling, Szűcs’ practice asks what painting can bring to twenty-first century thinking and image-making.

Produced by Erika Deák Gallery, Budapest, and co-published by Anomie Publishing, London, the publication features texts in English and Hungarian, translated by Dániel Sipos.

Comfy Hoodie
Size: Large, Color: Mg03- Splatter1
This brand makes some decent stuff. This is a nice thinner hoodie with some stretchy materials and a cool splatter design. Comfy and easy to move in/ use for active occasions or just for chillin. Very versatile. Color doesn’t fade or hasn’t yet for me and I like the contrasting drawstrings. Size is right on; I ordered a size up and there’s plenty of room for layering. However if you put anything heavy in the front pocket, like a wallet, the material will give way and sag.

Buy it.
Size: Large, Color: Mg03- Ethnic
I dont leave many reviews, because life. However, this pullover deserves a review. Yes, it is big. Normally I would wear an XL but ordered a L based off sizing and reviews. The L is a hair big but I love the way it fits and its comfy.bthe color and quality is great. It is a little warm with the fleece lining, so it will be worn inside until fall, ir on cool summer evenings. I bought 2 and may buy more.
