From the collection of Art Museum of Constanta
Cap de tătăroaică is a 1936 unspecified by Nicolae Tonitza, held at Art Museum of Constanta.
This painting shows a blurred face with soft, warm colors. The skin looks smooth but uneven, like it’s lit from one side. A white headscarf covers most of the hair, and the background is plain, letting the face stand out. The brushstrokes are thick in some spots, making the skin look textured. The lighting is simple, focusing on the face without much detail elsewhere. Try looking up impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
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.
