Bivolii is a 1931 unspecified by Sándor Ziffer, held at Museum of Art Cluj-Napoca.
This painting shows two dark, blocky cows standing on a patchy, yellow-brown field. Behind them, a few bare trees and a distant line of hills fade into a pale blue sky. The cows look heavy and solid, with thick legs and broad shapes. The ground under them is uneven, with dark, swirling shadows and a few scattered rocks. The artist used thick, rough brushstrokes to make the cows and shadows stand out against the lighter background. The colors feel flat and bold, with no soft edges to blur the shapes. Look up impasto to see how this thick paint technique works.
Sándor Ziffer made quiet, earth-toned landscapes and portraits in the early-to-mid 1900s.
