Dimitru Pavlu
Dimitru Pavlu is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Bucharest Municipality Museum.
Dimitru Pavlu made figurative oil paintings in mid-20th-century Bucharest. His portrait Carol II shows the king in a high-collared uniform with medals catching the light. Another known work depicts a cobbler at a workbench in a narrow street near the old city gates.
The brushwork is tight, the colors earthy, and the faces are modeled with careful chiaroscuro. Next, tap into the same studio corner where the cobbler’s awl and leather scraps sit on the bench.
