Farfurie cu pești is a 1938 by Dumitru Ghiață, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows a woven basket holding three fish. The fish are painted in earthy browns and greens, with a few bright spots on their scales. The basket has a rough texture, and the background looks like a sandy or rocky surface with splashes of red and beige. The artist used thick brushstrokes to make the fish and basket look almost three-dimensional. The fish’s eyes and fins stand out against their bodies, giving them a simple but lifelike feel. Next, check out impasto to see how thick paint can create texture in art.
Dumitru Ghiață (22 September 1888 – 3 July 1972) was a Romanian landscape painter.
