Efortul spre somn is a 1967 by Horia Bernea, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows a blurred, shadowy figure lying down. The colors are mostly muted—pale yellows, soft pinks, and dark blues—with rough, uneven strokes. The background looks like a messy, swirled mix of light and shadow, making it hard to tell where one shape ends and another begins. The figure’s face is hidden, and their body is barely defined, giving it a ghostly feel. The paint looks thick and textured, almost like it was slapped on quickly. If you like this style, check out impasto.
This Romanian printmaker’s stark, mid-century works mix bold shapes and text in black-and-white, blending graphic punch with quiet mood.
