Ananas is a 1850 by Hrandt Avakian, depicting Green, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows a bright yellow pitcher with a red lid sitting on a table. The background is a loose, sketchy mix of greens and blues, like plants and a cloudy sky. The brushstrokes are thick and uneven, with some colors blending into each other. The pitcher looks simple but stands out because of its bold color. The artist didn’t worry about perfect details—the strokes feel quick and rough, almost like they were painted fast. If you like this style, look up impasto to see how artists use thick paint.
Hrandt Avakian (1900–1990) was an artist, born in Aleppo.
