In Barcsay's picture, walls, roofs, doors and windows become solid geometrical forms. The picture can be linked in message and form to "Szentendre with Cross" where houses of the little town become geometrical forms, squares, rectangles and triangles with black contours filled with bright colours.

After geometry reduced from view, Barcsay arrived at pure constructivism. He was inspired by Kassák's picture architectures as "Picture Architecture", one of his pictures, suggests.
