1923
From the collection of Brukenthal National Museum
Studiu pentru „Fetița acrobatului” is a 1923 by Nicolae Tonitza, held at Brukenthal National Museum.
This sketch shows a child sitting on a grown-up’s lap. The adult’s arms wrap around the child, who looks down at their hands. The lines are rough and uneven, like quick pencil strokes on brown paper. The title written in the corner means "Study for the Acrobat’s Daughter." The artist scribbled it in the same hand as the drawing. Look up Tonitza, Nicolae to see more of his bold, sketchy style.
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.
