1918
From the collection of Moldova National Museum Complex
Car cu boi is a 1918 by Octav Băncilă, depicting Handcart, held at Moldova National Museum Complex.
This painting shows three people herding three white cows across a dry, golden field. The sky is a soft pink, and a dark tree stands in the middle of the scene. The people are dressed in simple clothes, with one person holding a long stick. The brushstrokes are thick and rough, giving the painting a textured look. The cows and people stand out against the warm, earthy colors of the field. Look up impasto next to see how thick paint is used in art.
Octav Băncilă was a Romanian realist painter and left-wing activist. He was the brother of Sofia Nădejde, a feminist journalist, and the brother-in-law of Ioan Nădejde.
