Summary/Abstract: The study examines the stylistic characteristics and artistic development of Károly Andruskó within the context of twentieth-century artistic movements. Its starting point is the observation that the artist consciously distanced himself from rigid stylistic trends, while his oeuvre simultaneously reveals a unique synthesis of several modern artistic influences, most notably realism, impressionism, post-impressionism, and, to some extent, expressionism. The paper analyses the formal and compositional features of Andruskó’s graphic and painterly works, paying particular attention to the relationship between line and patch, the dualistic colour scheme, and the coexistence of dramatic and lyrical modes of expression. Drawing on art criticism and interpretative analyses, the author demonstrates how Andruskó developed an autonomous and instantly recognizable visual language that was deeply rooted both in the folk-cultural environment of Vojvodina and in the broader traditions of European art. The study concludes that the greatest value of Andruskó’s art lies in the consistent preservation of his individual style and in his modern reinterpretation of figurative representation.
