Marginea orașului is a 1947 by Alexandru Ciucurencu, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows a small, muddy village scene under a pale sky. The buildings are dark and simple, with slanted roofs and tiny windows. A narrow road cuts through the middle, leading toward a few bare trees and a distant hill. The colors are mostly browns, blues, and grays, with brushstrokes that look rough and quick. The artist used thick, textured paint to create depth and mood. The way light and shadow play across the buildings gives them a solid, almost three-dimensional feel. Look up impasto next to see how this technique works.
Alexandru Ciucurencu (Romanian pronunciation: ; 27 September 1903 – 27 December 1977) was a Romanian Post-Impressionist painter, and a corresponding member of the Romanian Academy.
