188. At the Beach [1922]

The synthetic language denoted by Corneliu Michăilescu's painting around 1920 is evidence of the multiple influences to which the young painter was exposed. Attracted equally by the charm of the symbolic, translated even through Art Nouveau language (in the second half of the second decade of the last century), the painter would model a modernist plastic discourse in his second stage spent in Florence, after World War I. Even if the avant-garde infusion did not compare with the one discovered around the Romanian groups around "Contimporanul" a few years later (1924), Michăilescu's creation in the early years of the third decade vibrated and increasingly anticipated an attraction for construction and cubism. Our work provides data on the eclecticism demonstrated by Michăilescu's pictorial manner at the end of this first creative period (1913-1922). The composition with characters in the landscape follows the classical criteria, but the plastic resolution announced a modernist language that would seize the artist's style in the following period. Michăilescu was most likely in Techirghiol-Movilă, a chic seaside resort, for treatment, considering that his health had been weakened during his imprisonment in the Tuchel camp (September 1916 - 1918).
