Odaliscă is a 1938 unspecified by Alexandru Ciucurencu, held at Art Museum of Constanta.
This painting shows a blurred figure lying down, mostly hidden by bright yellow and red shapes. The background is messy with thick, uneven brushstrokes in greens, blues, and oranges. It’s hard to tell what exactly is being painted, but the colors clash and mix in a way that feels loose and fast. The painting looks like it was done in a hurry, with paint piled on thick in some spots. This style is called *impasto*, where brushstrokes are so heavy you can almost see the texture. Look up technique: impasto to see more examples of this bold, tactile way of painting.
Alexandru Ciucurencu painted scenes from everyday life and the human body in the mid-20th century.
