Janko Alexy was a socially active artist and culture essayist. His creative peak was in the 1930s, when he travelled with colleagues Bazovský and Palugyay through the uphill regions of Slovakia in search for subject matter and organised touring exhibitions promoting modern art. He created multiple pastel drawings with asymmetric composition and symbolic function of environments. To emphasise his ideas, he reduced the colour palette, used colder hues, simpler shapes and a soothing, fluent gesture.One of his masterpieces is the image of fujara players in Detva, where he merged all token symbols of the iconic Slovak town - the local male skirt garments, shepherd
