Max Chotiau

Max Chotiau painted simple scenes from everyday life. Four of his works sit in this bundle, including the 1915 painting *Soldat* and *La oglindă*, a quiet view by a mirror. Try his print *Nud*—a pared-down figure study—and the painting *Tacâmul*, which shows a table set for a meal. Chotiau’s work belongs to no single movement; it’s just people and objects caught in ordinary moments. Look again at the soldier in *Soldat*—his uniform and the year 1915 keep this scene rooted in a specific time.
