Stylized painting portraying two peasant women in traditional clothing. A comprehensive set of drawings and paintings by Gheorghe Saru (1920-2003) can be viewed at http://www.sarugeorge.com/ and http://www.arcadja.com/auctions/en/saru_gheorghe/artist/91580/
What some critics said about Saru's work:
- The century which started with Matisses liberating Joy of Life, marks its closing with Saru's equally celebratory hymns to the order and exuberance of nature (L.E.Juge, 2000)
- Sarus art is limitless, endlessly vibrating in a dynamic rhythm and universal vision (Marcel Suliteanu, 1995)
- An artist of international stature for a third of a century, Saru is represented in the permanent collections of major museums in Europe, Japan and The United States, and has his own place in Leningrads Hermitage (Dennis Wepman, 1988)
About the frame: this is a replica frame made in the old European style of the old masters with elaborate ornaments by taking select molded lumber, building it up with gesso and clay, and leafing with gold. The frame style imitates hand carving and is antiqued with Rottenstone and enhanced with a patina using traditional methods. It comes with a natural color linen liner.
