1923
From the collection of Brukenthal National Museum
Kirdjali - Prizonieri în lagăr is a 1923 by Nicolae Tonitza, held at Brukenthal National Museum.
This drawing shows two men in a muddy, overgrown field. One wears a cap and stands near a fence, while the other leans against a tree. The colors are mostly browns and greens, with a bright orange cloth on the ground. The background looks rough, with torn edges and scribbly lines. The painting feels raw, like it was made quickly. The artist used simple shapes and bold strokes to show the scene, almost like a sketch. Check out Tonitza, Nicolae for 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.
