Pansies 1937

Alexandru Ciucurencu's painting, 'Pansies', is a delightful arrangement of color and form, alive with the joy of seeing. I imagine Ciucurencu, brush in hand, drawn to the lively faces of the flowers. He probably began with the vase, a flurry of green strokes finding its shape, and then launched into the blooms. What a dance of pigment! Yellows that pop like sunshine, moody blacks, and a playful orange, all swirling together. You can see the energy of his brushstrokes, quick and sure, capturing the fleeting beauty of the pansies. Look at how the blue seeps into the white background, creating a hazy depth. It’s like he’s trying to hold onto a memory, a feeling. This painting reminds me that all artists are just following each other’s lead across time, like echoes in a grand, colorful conversation. And it reminds me that there are so many ways of looking, feeling, and painting.
