1943
unspecified
From the collection of Brukenthal National Museum
Portretul unui prieten is a 1943 unspecified by Max Hermann Maxy, held at Brukenthal National Museum.
This painting shows a man in a dark suit and tie, sitting inside what looks like a room. His face is made of sharp, flat shapes in bright colors—yellows, reds, and blues—while his suit is painted in thick, textured strokes. Behind him, a window lets in dim light, and the walls are a mix of dark and light patches. The way the colors clash and the face is broken into blocks feels unusual for a portrait. It’s like the artist flattened the image into bold, simple pieces instead of smooth details. If you like this style, check out impasto to see how thick paint can change a painting’s look.
Max Hermann Maxy was a Romanian painter, art professor, scenographer, and professor of German-Jewish descent.
