Dominant colour
Construcție umană is a 1924 by Max Hermann Maxy, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This print shows a bright, messy scene with bold colors. A red sailboat floats on a choppy sea of blues and greens. The sky is a rough mix of yellow and blue, and the boat’s sails and hull are painted in thick, uneven strokes. Shapes overlap in a way that feels both chaotic and balanced. The artist used thick layers of paint to build up the colors, making the surface look textured. This technique is called *impasto*—it’s like the paint is almost raised off the page. Look up impasto to see how artists use it to add depth and drama.
Max Hermann Maxy was a Romanian painter, art professor, scenographer, and professor of German-Jewish descent.
