Workshop Interior (Blue Dress) 1937

Gheorghe Petrascu made "Workshop Interior (Blue Dress)" with oil, though the date is unknown, and it feels like a fleeting moment caught on canvas. The way the paint is applied, thick and textured, makes you feel like you could almost reach out and touch it. The surface is a feast for the eyes. There's a real sense of physicality in the way the paint has been layered and manipulated. Take a closer look at the blue dress, see how the strokes of paint define the folds and curves of the fabric. It's not just about depicting a dress, it's about capturing the weight and texture of the material itself. Petrascu reminds me of someone like Vuillard, with that similar intimacy and focus on domestic interiors, but Petrascu's got his own distinct flavour. It's a reminder that art is always in conversation. It embraces ambiguity, inviting us to bring our own experiences to the table.
