1923
From the collection of Art Museum of Constanta
Cafeneaua lui Mamut is a 1923 by Nicolae Tonitza, held at Art Museum of Constanta.
This print shows a dimly lit room with simple wooden benches and chairs. A tree branch grows right through the ceiling, letting in a little light. The walls are plain, with a few small framed pictures hanging crookedly. The brushstrokes are loose and quick, almost like a sketch. The colors are muted—blues, browns, and soft yellows—giving it a quiet, worn-in feel. Look up Tonitza, Nicolae to see more of his work.
Nicolae Tonitza was a Romanian painter, engraver, lithographer, journalist and art critic. Drawing inspiration from Post-Impressionism and Expressionism, he had a major role in introducing modernist guidelines to local art.
