Nagy Balogh's drawings, just like his paintings, have only a few themes, his immediate surroundings providing the subjects of almost all his works - labourers, men and women working in the fields, his mother, interiors and the objects of their tiny home. His work developed from the rational arrangement of the spectacle. Hi did not follow any special theory nor did he belong to any artistic group. In his numerous pictures of the very same subjects, the forms became more and more simplified, losing all their frills, the outlines becoming purer and the arrangement increasingly oderly. Only the essence remained - natural instinctive order and harmony. This drawing came into the collection with a rich donation of works from the artists himself.
