Odaliscă is a 1950 by Alexandru Ciucurencu, held at Lucian Pop Art Collection.
A woman in a loose white dress leans back on a red couch, one arm resting on her head. Her dark hair spills over her shoulder. In front of her is a small table with a teapot, a cup, and a few apples. Behind her, a dark wooden cabinet holds a bowl of oranges and a few other objects. The colors are bold—reds, yellows, and whites stand out against the warm background. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, giving the painting a textured look. This technique is called *impasto*, where paint is laid on thickly so you can almost feel the strokes. Look up technique: impasto to see more examples of this bold style.
