From the collection of National Museum of Art of Romania
Odaliscă în roșu is a 1950 unspecified by Alexandru Ciucurencu, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
A woman lies on a couch, her body painted in bold colors. She wears a red skirt and a white top, one arm raised to her head. A vase with yellow flowers sits on a table in front of her, and a dark vase stands nearby. The background shows a green plant and a dark shape, possibly a bottle or pitcher. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, giving the paint a textured look. The colors are flat but bright, with no deep shadows or blending. This painting uses a technique called *impasto*—where paint is laid on thickly so you can almost feel the texture.
Alexandru Ciucurencu (Romanian pronunciation: ; 27 September 1903 – 27 December 1977) was a Romanian Post-Impressionist painter, and a corresponding member of the Romanian Academy.
