1922
From the collection of Ion Irimescu Art Museum
Dominant colour
Ciobănaș is a 1922 by Aurel Băeșu, held at Ion Irimescu Art Museum.
This painting shows a person lying in tall grass, wearing a wide-brimmed hat and a light-colored shirt. Nearby, a few cows rest in the same field, some standing and one lying down. The brushstrokes are loose and visible, with patches of green, brown, and white dominating the scene. The person appears relaxed, holding a bundle of sticks or branches. The painting feels fresh and outdoor-focused, with a focus on everyday rural life. Check out impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this one.
