Aurel Mocanu

Aurel Mocanu made bold prints of rivers and wetlands in a direct, uncluttered style. Look at Delta, a print that captures the shimmer of water and the geometry of reeds with flat shapes and strong contrasts. This work belongs to a 1960s–70s tradition of Romanian graphic art that favored everyday landscapes over grand scenes.
