1927

Dominant colour
Omul în mijlocul naturii is a 1927 by Cecilia Cuțescu-Storck, held at Bucharest Municipality Museum.
A person sits bent over in a forest, their back to us. The trees loom tall, their trunks rough and branches tangled. The person’s skin is warm-toned, almost glowing against the cool greens and blues of the trees. Their hair is dark, and they hold their knees close, like they’re resting or hiding. The painting looks like it was made from blocks of color—flat shapes with sharp edges. The person’s body isn’t smooth; it’s built from thick, painted patches. This style makes the scene feel both real and a little strange at the same time. If you like this style, look up impasto.
Cecilia Cuțescu-Storck was a Romanian painter with a strong influence on cultural life in the interwar period.
