A woman lies on a bed. Her clothes are piled neatly beside her. The room is dark except for a strip of light across the floor. This odd painting comes from Romania. It shows a scene most people avoid talking about. The title is blunt: “Nud culcat” means “Naked Lying Down.” If you like raw honesty in art, look up the Museum of Ethnography in Cluj.
