1923
unspecified
From the collection of Argeș County Museum
Portret is a 1923 unspecified by Nicolae Tonitza, held at Argeș County Museum.
This painting shows a man in a dark suit and striped tie, sitting with one hand resting on a red cushion. Behind him, colorful woven rugs hang on a wooden wall. His face is serious, with a thick mustache and dark hair slicked back. The brushstrokes are thick and textured, especially on his suit and the rugs. This makes the colors pop and gives the painting a lively feel. Try looking up impasto next to see how this technique works.
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.
