"But Farkas, who kept pace with his eminent contemporaries in Paris, now created an independent world, one in which were linked the culture of the vanished Austro-Hungarian monarchy--of Musil, Rilke, Kafka, and Freud--and the modern existence evoked by the early existentialist writers. Farkas forged a deeply personal and symbolic visual language during this difficult and ultimately tragic period. In his paintings, he often depicted a mysterious universe populated by alienated, ghostly figures and hostile objects which can be interpreted as both meditations on the frailty of human existence and premonitions of his death."
