Personnages 1949

"Personnages", a 1949 work by Romanian artist Aurel Cojan, is a minimalist pencil sketch that captures the essence of human figures through gestural lines and hazy outlines. The figures are barely defined, appearing almost translucent and ethereal, evoking a sense of movement and fleeting moments. The work's abstract style reflects the influence of Expressionism and the artistic trends of the post-World War II era, where artists sought to express inner emotions and psychological states rather than literal representation.
