István Dési Huber's art is similar to that of Derkovits, and his work, life, beliefs and entire activity were dedicated to the ideals of the proletariat. He considered painting a part of the class-conscious, socialist ideological fight. He was also an active art theoretician.
The subjects of his pictures are workers, peasants, suburban streets, his native town, Dés, and the banks of the river Szamos, with trees bending into the water and bathing cattle. One of his most mature early works is "Midday Rest" which was presented to the Museum of Fine Arts by the Ministry of Culture in 1947. His art evolved from Cubism and Constructivism and later his means of expression became richer and his drama stronger. The colours of his later works are chiefly browns, grays and brick reds. In the thirties the principles of Derkovits and Dési Huber were adopted by the Group of Socialist Artists.
