The creation of the plastic artist Nicolae Tonitza is focused on two components - theoretical and artistic. Theoretically, Tonitza worked as an artistic columnist and publicist for various magazines and newspapers "Cuvântul liber", "Facla", "Socialismul" and others. His chronicles initially had a polemical character with a sociopolitical accent, and later, a "stylistic" one, with a national aspect. The artistic activity is focused on two genres graphics and painting. The thematic register is varied and includes military and social subjects, portraits of children, nudes, landscapes, the reason for the holiday etc. Stylistically, his creation reveals affinities of expressionism, Cezannian cubism, folk art, etc.
