Still Life with Carnations, Apples and a Clock 1944

Alexandru Ciucurencu's "Still Life with Carnations, Apples and a Clock" from 1944 presents a vibrant, abstract interpretation of a traditional still life subject. The artist's signature loose brushstrokes and bold colors create a sense of movement and energy, emphasizing the interplay of light and shadow. The composition features a clock, carnations, and apples, all rendered in a simplified, almost geometric style. The backdrop, a hazy blue, adds to the overall feeling of dynamism. The painting, a prime example of Ciucurencu's distinctive style, reveals his mastery of color and form, capturing the essence of his subject while adding a distinctly personal touch.
