These paintings are characterized by the delicate coloring of an Alexander number and gently inserted maquis , similar to that of Ernö Tibor's paintings from the 1920s. Furthermore, decorative works and works similar to German expressionist art were created . The preferred subjects were landscapes , marketplace scenes , portraits or nudes , mostly realized in oil or pastel .
