1924
From the collection of Bucharest Municipality Museum
Nat(ură) moartă; Nud de femeie (verso) is a 1924 by Petre Iorgulescu-Yor, depicting Basket, held at Bucharest Municipality Museum.
This painting shows two scenes side by side. On the left, a table holds a basket full of fruit—peaches, grapes, and apples—spilling over the edge. A few books and a cloth lie nearby, with a window in the background. On the right, a person sits naked on a chair, facing away, with a small plant on the floor beside them. The brushstrokes are thick and rough, giving the fruit and skin a textured look. The colors are simple but warm, with earthy reds and soft yellows. If you like this style, look up impasto.
Petre Iorgulescu-Yor (24 December 1890, Râmnicu Sărat – 29 April 1939, Bucharest) was a Romanian Expressionist painter of Jewish and Greek ancestry.
