Portraits of the Last Golden Age is the latest major monograph on the work of Budapest-based artist Attila Szűcs (b.1967, Miskolc, Hungary), one of the leading painters in Hungary today. Following on from his 2016 monograph, Specters and Experiments, published by Hatje Cantz, Portraits of the Last Golden Age features a substantial in- conversation between Szűcs and Sándor Hornyik, an art historian, curator and senior research fellow at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Budapest. ‘Mankind is in an extremely tense situation,’ Szűcs asserts, ‘with the escalation of natural disasters, with artificial intelligence getting out of hand, the world can easily take a dystopian turn.’ During the course of the conversation, the two men discuss topics ranging from portraiture to posthumanism, meditation to metaphysics, intuition to the irrational.

In addition to presenting examples of Szűcs’ accomplished and haunting monochrome works on paper employing materials such as acrylic, charcoal and graphite, the publication features over seventy oil paintings made between 2019 and 2023 depicting dark dreamscapes and transcendental scenes of alternate realities. Disembodied hands grab or caress, as if apparitions from another dimension; sleeping figures exhale multi-coloured breath that verges on the supernatural; long golden hair flows down the side of a bed, pooling on the floor like an uncanny waterfall; heads float in dark water as if decapitated; otherworldly fires rage while apocalyptic explosions highlight environmental disasters and humankind’s seemingly unstoppable drive towards auto-destruction. Szűcs’ work is both an exploration into the human psyche and into the universe itself, much of which is as-yet unknown: quantum worlds and multiverses, the complexities of time and space, and the possibilities of an afterlife. Bleak yet beautiful, dark yet dazzling, Szűcs’ practice asks what painting can bring to twenty-first century thinking and image-making.

Produced by Erika Deák Gallery, Budapest, and co-published by Anomie Publishing, London, the publication features texts in English and Hungarian, translated by Dániel Sipos.

Helps With Dry Mouth, Tastes Great and Easy to Keep On Hand
Size: 27 Count (Pack of 1), Size: 27 Count (Pack of 1)
Update: I have already repurchased more! I love the taste and they work so well with a great taste. I’ve been dealing with dry mouth lately, especially at night, and these Biotene Dry Mouth Lozenges have been really helpful. They dissolve slowly and help keep my mouth feeling more comfortable without being overly sweet or strong. The mint flavor is light and refreshing, which I appreciate because some lozenges can taste too medicinal. These are gentle and easy to use throughout the day or before bed if dryness is bothering me. The packaging is also convenient to keep in a bag or on a bedside table. I like that the lozenges are sugar-free and individually sealed in the blister pack so they stay fresh. I included a photo of the lozenge in my hand so you can see the size and what it looks like out of the package, along with photos of the box and blister pack for reference. These are simple, effective, great taste and a good option to keep on hand if you deal with dry mouth.

Would continue to buy again
Size: 27 Count (Pack of 1)
Purchased twice. I wish they made these bigger. Moisturizing mouth well and flavor is pleasant and long lasting. I have Sjogrens and suffer with dry eye and mouth. These work better than regular lozenges.
