Compoziție suprarealistă is a 1936 by Corneliu Michăilescu, depicting Character, held at Bucharest Municipality Museum.
This painting shows a dreamlike scene with a person in mid-stride, their arms raised as if caught in motion. Behind them, a tower with clock faces looms, while a giant, swirling wheel sits below. The colors are mostly dark blues, reds, and whites, with thick, uneven brushstrokes that make it feel rough and alive. The painting’s strange mix of shapes—like the clock tower and wheel—makes it feel like a puzzle. It’s not tied to any known art movement, but the bold, uneven strokes give it a raw energy. Check out impasto to see how thick paint can change a painting’s mood.
Corneliu Michăilescu (1887–1965) was an artist, born in Bucharest.
