COMPOZIȚIE is a 1923 by Alexandru Phoebus, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows a group of figures floating in a cloudy sky. Some look like angels with wings, while others appear naked or dressed in simple robes. The colors are soft—lots of pale blues, whites, and earthy browns—with thick brushstrokes that make the scene feel dreamy. The figures seem to be reaching toward each other, as if part of a larger scene. The loose, textured style makes it feel more like a sketch than a polished work. Look up impasto to see how thick paint like this creates texture.
