Looking at this drawing, one can almost hear Hore’s quiet voice reflecting on the innocence of lines and how even the rawest strokes speak of life’s brokenness. The uneven oval of a face, the dark, childlike eyes, and the skeletal marks recall the haunting memories of famine and war that shaped his art. Here, the figure seems incomplete, fragile, almost dissolving into emptiness—yet it breathes. Hore often sought to strip away all excess, leaving only the essential truth of suffering and survival. In this drawing, the tenderness of a child’s scrawl fuses with the anguish of an adult’s memory. It is not just a sketch; it is a fragment of humanity, trembling between life and erasure.
