From the collection of Bucharest Municipality Museum
Băiat cu pipă is a 1921 unspecified by Aurel Băeșu, held at Bucharest Municipality Museum.
This painting shows a person holding a pipe, with smoke curling from it. Their face is serious, with a dark cap pulled low over their forehead. The background is blurry, mostly white and gray, while the person’s clothes are dark brown. The brushstrokes are thick and rough, giving the painting a textured look. This style makes the face stand out against the soft background. Check out impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
Aurel Băeșu (26 May 1896 – 24 August 1928) was a Romanian Impressionist landscape and portrait painter. Many of his works show the influence of Nicolae Grigorescu; an influence that was common among painters of his generation.
