1926
unspecified
From the collection of National Museum of Art of Romania
Nud (în iatac) is a 1926 unspecified by Nicolae Tonitza, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows a person sitting on a bed with their back to us. They’re bare, resting one arm on their knee. In front of them is a tray with a cup, saucer, and a pot—like someone just had tea. The bed has bright, patchy blankets in yellows and blues, and the wall behind them is a messy mix of greens and reds. The brushstrokes are thick and rough, making the skin and fabrics look almost textured. The colors feel bold but uneven, like the artist worked fast. If you like this style, check out impasto—it’s the technique of laying paint thickly so you can almost feel it.
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.
