1923
unspecified
From the collection of Museum of Art Cluj-Napoca
Autoportret is a 1923 unspecified by Tasso Marchini, held at Museum of Art Cluj-Napoca.
This painting shows a blurry face against a dark, smudgy background. The colors are mostly muted grays and browns, with a hint of lighter pink on the cheeks. The person’s features are hard to make out—just a rough shape of a nose, mouth, and glasses. The face looks almost scratched or half-erased, like the paint was applied thickly and then worn away. It feels raw and unfinished. Next, look up impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
Tasso Marchini was a Modernist painter of mixed parentage, who spent most of his short life in Romania.
