Despite Ceaușescu: A Collection of Romanian Art
()
About this ebook
An important survey of art from a little-studied period of Romanian art history
“It is truly extraordinary to me that so much beauty has sprung from such dark times in Romania, and that is what this book wishes to capture. Art speaks its own language.”—From the Preface
Despite Ceaușescu focuses on 91 works, by 13 artists—Horia Bernea, Ştefan Câlţia, Marin Gherasim, Vasile Gorduz, Marcel Guguianu, Sorin Ilfoveanu, Georgeta Năpăruş, Florin Niculiu, Ion Pacea, Corneliu Petrescu, Silvia Radu, Gheorghe Şaru and Icon workshop—drawn from the 900-work Tyler Collection of Romanian Art at the University of Tasmania. The paintings, sculpture, and ceramics were created by artists during the 1970s and 1980s.
Fully illustrated throughout in color—with catalogue plates and a checklist—each work of art features an entry with specifications, artist biographical information, stylistic influences, significance and social context, as well as notes. The photographs are by Lee Ewing, sculpture photographer at the National Gallery of Art, Washington DC.
