About this work
Overview
Joc III is a mid‑20th‑century drawing by Romanian artist Ionuț Cătălin Florea, dated approximately 1950. The work is part of the collection of the Museum of Ethnography and is presented as a black‑and‑white image on a light beige surface.
Subject & Meaning
The composition depicts a slender, elongated animal that could be interpreted as a dog or a cat. Its minimalistic rendering leaves the creature’s identity open to viewer speculation, inviting a playful engagement with form and suggestion.
Technique & Style
Executed in a loose, abstract manner, the drawing relies on bold, continuous lines that outline the figure without elaborate detailing. The artist’s signature, rendered in a fluid script at the bottom centre, provides a personal counterpoint to the stark simplicity of the image.
History & Provenance
Created around 1950, Joc III entered the Museum of Ethnography’s holdings at an unspecified date. The museum’s acquisition places the work within a broader context of mid‑century Romanian graphic art.
