Balcic is a 1950 by Hrandt Avakian, depicting Urban Landscap, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows a simple, blocky house with a red roof and two small windows. The walls are rough and uneven, painted in earthy browns and yellows. A tree with dark green leaves stands to the right, and the ground looks dry with patches of grass. The whole scene feels a bit faded, like it was painted in a hurry. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, giving the painting a textured look. This style is called impasto, where paint is laid on thickly so you can almost feel the strokes. Next, check out impasto to see how other artists used this technique.
Hrandt Avakian (1900–1990) was an artist, born in Aleppo.
