Dominant colour
Poetul Marcel Breslașu is a 1950 by Alexandru Ciucurencu, held at Brukenthal National Museum.
This painting shows a man sitting in a dimly lit room, holding a pipe. His clothes are simple, and the background has rough textures—like shelves with jars and a painting. The brushstrokes are thick, making the colors look uneven and alive. The man’s face is lit from the side, giving it a shadowy depth. The artist used bold strokes, almost like they slapped paint on the canvas. Next, look up impasto to see how this thick paint 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.
