Individual evidence

  1. ↑ The information in this sentence comes from the reverse of the painting "Peisaj in Delta" from 1973. This painting was offered on May 6, 2011 at 8:25 pm (auction end) by a private collector from Oradea (user name: mihail47) on the Romanian Internet sales platform www.okazii.ro for 620 RON ( http://www.okazii.ro/ catalog / 54541860 / pictura-romaneasca-peisaj-in-delta-uzum-paul.html ). According to the seller, the painting was executed in oil on painter's cardboard and measures approx. 47x60 cm without a frame. A river course is shown, which approaches the viewer under an exciting one. in blue-green-brown-red evening or morning sky. In the middle right area - as seen from the viewer - there are three boats that fill the entire lower right part of the picture and extend a little into the lower left part. Behind the first boat, which is the first from the left, there is another boat in the background. The background of the boats and the river fills a meadow landscape, which is marked on the right side of the river by a small elevation on which a brown wind turbine or a windmill stands. The horizon is lined with brown trees of various sizes - and in some places probably also larger bushes. The photos that the seller posted can be seen on the back of the paper cover of the frame, notes made by the artist himself plus the artist's signature (reproduced from left to right in chronological order as well as in the paragraphs, as shown on the back by Uzum.):
