Among the Romanian artists of the middle generation has attracted the most attention , Corneliu Baba ( b. 1906). His " Holiday in the field" ( 1954) - a remarkable piece of art. Perfectly found images of characters in the movie , other than the depth of features . Deeply thought-out arrangement of the figures - the participants scene - saves at the same time, the nature of natural grouping. The simplicity and brevity of scenic resources attach significance to the scene , make a private episode in a collective picture of people's lives. The canvas is - one of the links in the cycle conceived by the artist on the theme of the peasant uprising of 1907.

Zambakchana (1957 ) , women and farmers - is courageous , expressive, vivid images that speak of the wealth and importance of the inner world of his characters . In the works of Baba everything seems built on a creative study of the old masters , but at the same time in which the voice of our time.

understanding of the essence of the artist phenomena

bykinist, if we know the name of the latest pattern in a record number 1 ?

It illustrates perfectly the natural principle of " Education " , a coded letter " psi " . In order to show it in its proper context , complementing the essay "Images of the alphabet ."

Looked at "in contact" album . Apparently, the artist was interested in the theme of " psi " .
In the comments, one person wrote my thought - " I want to name ! ! " And someone else sympathized with him , calling the film " Mad King " , as the above picture is "I'm the King " (also with of dog ) .
