I painted After Altamira (36x48) in 2021. It was accepted by the juror into the Pennsylvania Academy Fellowship annual exhibition that ended in January 2023.
The painting reflects a style I first developed as an academy student in 1975. Its theme mocks a cave painting and includes Picasso’s quip: “After Altamira, all is decadence…we have invented nothing.”
Picasso lion imagery is blended with Altamira imagery and with linear cubist indications. The painting asks the question: Have we invented nothing? Picasso was wryly indicating that after humans emerged from the primal Edenic state of the innocence of animals, we have fallen into a conscious struggle with re-inventing ourselves through technology, clothing, weapons, finer art, and philosophies. Have we accomplished anything?

(text/numbers on painting from back of photo) of my father “Joco” (yah’-tsaw)
My father, Jozef Szimhart age 23 from his 1945 picture when he was in the German air force as a Hungarian electrician conscript who rehabbed Focke-Wulf fighter aircraft engines. He was taken prisoner by the American Allies in 1945.
He met my mother, a Hungarian refugee, at a DP camp in Pocking, Germany in 1946.
He became a US citizen in 1956 after we immigrated in 1951. He worked full time as an electrician until he was 90 years old, then passed away in 2014 at age 91.

Joe Szimhart has made dozens of appearances on various podcasts, tv shows, and documentaries.
This one by Atrocity Guide appeared in 2023 and features me discussing my work with dozens of people affected by this cult leader.
An image of my painting, Arab with Bread (36x48) appeared in the 2023 Atrocity Guide documentary above, and as a result a collector in Australia purchased it.
At times, my careers cross over!
