Very good condition 1903-1977 Alexandru Ciucurencu was a Romanian Post-Impressionist painter. He studied at the Julien Academy in Paris, having entered André Lhote's workshop. After his earlier, more colorful works, Ciucurencu opts for a more restrained palette. After 1948, his paintings align to the themes of Socialist Realism while not straying far from his typical colorist approach. In his last years, he returns to vivid colors and also paints several nearly-abstract compositions. In spite of this, Ciucurencu (as well as his fellow students) preferred to remain a figurative painter Provenance available upon request. Private Collection.
