The years 1916 and 1917 were the most fruitful years in Nemes Lampérth's oevre. He moved into Horgony utca, Buda, in 1917 when he painted pictures on houses on slopes houses in Tabán. The most significant in this series of pictures is "Landscape" with intensive colours. There are houses with white walls in the green of trees and bushes, a bright yellow field in the background, and trees and bushes on the slope. A white cloud is drifting in the blue sky. Nemes Lampérth builds the composition on view but he highlights elements only which are important from the point of view of space and mass. He used few colours, green, yellow, purple and white, instead they are present in a variety of shades, e.g. he painted the green of the foreground in colours. Traces and directions of dynamic brush-strokes have a part in building the picture. Lines to suggest space indicate the structure of landscape, too.
