1925
From the collection of National Museum of Art of Romania
Fata pădurarului is a 1925 by Nicolae Tonitza, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
A girl stands in front of a green, leafy background. She wears a white hat and a bright red coat with white trim. Her face is simple, with dark hair and a calm expression. The brushstrokes are loose and quick, making the leaves look alive. The red coat stands out against the green, like a splash of color. Look up chiaroscuro next to see how light and shadow create drama in art.
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.
