Rudolf Schweitzer-Cumpăna - “The Hookah Smoker”

If we should characterize a painter by a color, Rudolf Schweitzer-Cumpana defines yellow. The tone variations of this color seem to the artist - unlimited. Most of the time they are solar, but their vibration also reaches gloomy sounds. Born in the same year as Tonitza and Stefan Popescu, he is part of the golden generation of the masters of Romanian painting. His creative vigor, his studies in Berlin, and his admiration for Rembrandt helped him create his own unmistakable style, which he perfected during his long life and which he never betrayed.
