“Ion Georgescu is considered the first modern Romanian sculptor.
He studied at the School of Fine Arts in Bucharest, with Karl Storck, then in Paris, where he kept in close contact with progressive Romanian intellectuals. In Paris he was awarded a medal for the work “The Prayer of a Child”. He was also a teacher at the School of Fine Arts in Bucharest, where he had as students Frederic Storck, D. Mirea, etc. The most famous works of the artist are the statues of Gheorghe Lazăr and Pache Protopopescu in Bucharest, the statue of Gheorghe Asachi in Iasi.
Ion Georgescu was a complex artist, approaching all genres of sculpture (portrait, statuary composition, monuments, relief), as well as oil and watercolor painting, being directly involved in the sphere of artistic education.”

WATER VESSELS
FROM THE ORIENTAL DECORATIVE ART COLLECTION OF THE TULCEA FINE ARTS MUSEUM
What the organizers say:
“The exhibition is part of the “Warehouse Art” project, whose main objective is to present cultural goods that have been less promoted over time. It will be possible to admire metal vessels, with a predominantly secular destination, made in some workshops in the Eurasian space. They belong chronologically to the 16th-20th centuries.”
The “Danube Delta” Eco-Tourism Museum Center will open to the general public on a date that will be communicated later, after obtaining all operating permits.
The work is exhibited at Casa Avramide as part of the temporary exhibition dedicated to the diplomat Vasile Stoica (1889-1959).
In April 2023, at the Fine Arts Museum in Grigore Antipa str., no. 2, the public can admire “The Fountain of Healing” (oil on wood), a work made in a Greek workshop.
The work is part of the icon collection of the Tulcea Art Museum and can only be viewed in April.
The work is part of the collection of oriental decorative art of the Tulcea Fine Arts Museum and is exhibited in the temporary exhibition “Vase de foc”.
In March 2023, at the Fine Arts Museum in Grigore Antipa str., no. 2, the public can admire “Field sown and stubble” (wood and metal), whose author is Teodor Hrib (b. 1946).
The work is part of the sculpture collection of the Tulcea Fine Arts Museum and can be viewed, as part of the permanent exhibition, from March 1 to 31, 2023.
“Teodor Hrib was born on January 1, 1946 in Arbore commune, Suceava county. Since high school, he reacted against the communist regime through public statements and harsh cartoons. Being considered an ‘antisocial and dangerous individual for society’, he was investigated for 30 years, constantly pursued and persecuted.
Since 1985, being considered one of the best engravers in Romania, Teodor Hrib coordinated the PODUL engraving workshop and gallery in Bucharest, Speranței str., no. 15. On the studio door, in the spirit of his convictions, the artist placed a photo of the Polish leader Lech Walesa. In this place, in addition to graphic experiments, Teodor Hrib holds meetings, discussions and lectures, atypical events for Romanian contemporary art at that time. In 2004, the workshop and the gallery were devastated. Marked, Teodor Hrib completely left engraving and chose to work with “an art closer to real life”, as he himself declared. His installation-type sculptures, allegories, human-robots, absurd mechanisms, with integrated circuits and noisy engines are the subject of an aesthetics of unprecedented freedom. These hybrids of painting, sculpture and assemblage, built from discarded objects, are Teodor Hrib’s effect to explain contemporaneity more clearly and directly.”
