Natură statică cu flori, cană și carte is a 1943 by Alexandru Ciucurencu, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows a simple setup: a dark vase with red flowers, a red book or box, and a black pot on a rough, textured table. The background is mostly pale blue and pink, with brushstrokes that look thick and uneven. The colors are bold—deep greens, bright reds, and soft whites—but everything feels a little rough around the edges. The flowers are the main focus, but the red object next to them stands out too. It’s not clear what it is, but it adds a sharp contrast to the softer shapes around it. If you like this style, look up impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
Alexandru Ciucurencu (Romanian pronunciation: ; 27 September 1903 – 27 December 1977) was a Romanian Post-Impressionist painter, and a corresponding member of the Romanian Academy.
