Nud în peisaj is a 1931 unspecified by Max Hermann Maxy, held at Art museum of Craiova.
This painting shows a woman standing barefoot in a bright, simple scene. She holds a small bird in one hand while her other arm rests at her side. Behind her, a tall, blocky figure with a yellowish face stands near a row of small houses. The colors are bold—deep blues in the sky, pinkish tones on her skin, and earthy browns on the ground. The woman’s face is painted in flat, dark shapes, almost like a mask. The background looks hastily brushed, with thick, uneven strokes that make it feel alive. If you like this style, look up impasto—it’s the technique of laying paint thickly on canvas.
Max Hermann Maxy was a Romanian painter, art professor, scenographer, and professor of German-Jewish descent.
