Laziness
Artist: Hinko Smrekar
Circa: 1918

A grotesque and masterfully detailed critique of sloth, Laziness by Hinko Smrekar merges dark humor with biting social commentary. Smrekar, one of Slovenia's most distinctive satirists, used exaggerated form and chaotic composition to illuminate the excesses of human nature. In this piece, the bloated central figure sprawls amid indulgence and filth, surrounded by symbols of decay. Originally produced as a hand-colored print, the image remains disturbingly relevant—and visually unforgettable.

Print Details:

• Archival matte paper, 11"x17" untrimmed

• Giclee reproduction of the original illustration

• Suitable for framing

• Carefully packaged and shipped flat

Ideal for collectors of:

• Hinko Smrekar prints

• Slovenian or Balkan art

• Early 20th-century satire

• Symbolist and grotesque works

• Anti-war or anti-bourgeois themes

A cautionary tableau for the idle soul—macabre, brilliant, and unapologetically human.
