Vas verde și flori is a 1943 by Alexandru Ciucurencu, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows a dark vase with a loose bunch of flowers—some white, some pink—spilling over the rim. The background is a pale, almost gray-blue, while the table below is a warm yellow with a red edge. Two round shapes on the table look like lemons or apples, but they’re painted roughly. The brushstrokes are thick and uneven, almost like the artist slapped the paint on. The flowers don’t look perfectly real; some petals are just blocks of color with a few strokes for detail. If you like this loose, expressive style, check out impasto.
