1991
From the collection of National Museum of Art of Romania
Soția artistului is a 1991 by Corneliu Baba, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows a person in profile, wearing a dark dress with a light-colored head covering. Their hands are clasped in front, and the background is a mix of warm reds and oranges with loose brushstrokes. The colors are bold, and the face has a soft, almost glowing quality. The painting’s loose brushwork gives it a quick, almost sketchy feel, like it was painted fast. The lighting focuses on the face, making it stand out against the darker clothes. Check out impasto to see how artists use thick paint for texture.
Corneliu Baba was a Romanian painter, primarily a portraitist, but also known as a genre painter and an illustrator of books.
