1968
From the collection of National Museum of Art of Romania
Măslini la Cimiez - Sudul Franței is a 1968 by Micaela Eleutheriade, depicting Character, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows a row of bare trees with twisted branches, standing in a grassy field. The trees are dark against a pale green sky, and their roots spread wide. In the distance, a few faint figures walk along a path, and a small wooden crate sits near the bottom right. The brushstrokes are loose and quick, giving the scene a rough, sketchy feel. The trees look almost like they’re reaching out, with some branches tangled together. Next, look up impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
Micaela Eleutheriade (1900–1982) was a noted Romanian painter and engraver. She was a descendant, through her mother, of the painter Gheorghe Tattarescu, the pioneer of neoclassicism in Romania.
