With the set of journeys he had made throughout his career, Samuel Mützner managed to give Balchik a significant place in the realm of imagination of his creation. The interwar period is clearly the one when the town in the far southeast of Romania became an ideal destination for the Mützner spouses, where they also had a summer house. One of the most important figures of Romanian Impressionism, Mützner was connected to the typical atmosphere of Balchik, easy to prove due to the recurrent local landscapes. In “Spring in Balchik”, the artist captured the town’s defining note, namely the arid landscape rolling down the sunbathed hills. The composition remains faithful to Impressionism’s chromatic solutions, required in fact by the natural environment in Balchik, where light plays an important part in structuring the whole and is a way to build planes. Mützner uses acting through a perspective adequate to the figurative plane, but also through the shades alternating between the background drenched in light and the shaded foreground. This painting can easily be integrated in a certain aesthetic segment – with “Balchik in Spring” (National Museum of Art of Romania), “Dobrogea Landscape” (Zambaccian Museum) or “Rainy Weather in Balchik” (National Museum of Art of Romania) (see “Samuel Mutzner”, Viorica Andreescu, Ed. Meridiane, Bucharest, 1974) – where we can notice the pictorial rephrasing that the painter makes within the shape – colour discussion. (I.P.)
