The National University of Arts The National University of Arts A great number of Romanian and world art masters studied at the National School of Fine Arts, founded, in 1864, by Theodor Aman and Gheorghe Tattarescu in Bucharest. Let’s mention at random Constantin Brancusi, Victor Brauner, Paul Neagu, Ioan Andreescu, Ştefan Luchian, Gheorghe Petraşcu, Sabin Popp, Aurel Jiquidi and Lucian Grigorescu. Among the graduates, George Demetrescu Mirea, Francisc Şirato, Jean Al. Steriadi, Camil Ressu, Corneliu Baba, Alexandru Ciucurencu, Dimitrie Paciurea, Oscar Han or Ion Jalea chose to become art educators too. In 1998, the Academy of Art in Bucharest was accredited as a university. The title National University of Arts (NUArts), granted in 2001, certifies the level of excellence reached by the Romanian artistic education system after a century and a half of experiments, a period in which the chairs/departments were represented by exquisite artists, remarkable investigators of the plastic phenomenon. The National University of Arts in Bucharest offers her students an educational program and projects aiming to reach international standards. NUArts is made of the Faculty of Fine Arts (FFA), the Faculty of Decorative Arts and Design (FDAD) and the Faculty of History and Theory of Art (FHTA). The NUArts Publishing House, Gallery and Museum are affiliated with the University. The partnership between Oprişor Winery and NUArts enjoys a common concern: art. Art-and-Wine, a concept included in Oprişor Winery’s portfolio, stimulates creativity in both domains. The interest for culture motivates Oprişor Winery’s presence at the important events NUArts organizes. For example, for the Project “150 UNArte” (“150 NUArts”), which celebrated 150 years of the Romanian artistic education system, Oprişor Winery achieved a limited series of 50 boxes, each of them containing 3 collection wines, personalized by labels rendering well-known copies from the history of Romanian painting, sculpture and graphics. The sums cashed in are going to sponsor two scholarships granted to University’s students or graduates. Contact: 19, Gen.

On the one hand, the lack of direct information about his private life – such as correspondence for example – as well as very few personal statements on his work, makes our attempt to comprehend the man and creator very difficult.

  • Cap. Iv. Sculptura Modernă Românească. Consideraţii Necesare
    Cornel T. Durgheu Sculptura monumentală din Bihor CAP. IV. SCULPTURA MODERNĂ ROMÂNEASCĂ. CONSIDERAŢII NECESARE Arta şi în special arta monumentală nu a fost de la începuturi folosită în scopuri politice, în înţelesul real de „propagandă”. Aceasta se va întâmpla mult mai târziu prin secolul al XVII-lea – când Biserica Catolică a deschis ofensiva împotriva protestantismului. Din totdeauna „propaganda” a fost atât de tendenţioasă încât era imposibil ca să nu primească conotaţii morale, putând sugera uneori şi asociaţii nefericite. Cea mai mare parte a ceea ce în mod normal percepem ca artă, de-a lungul întregii civilizaţii culturale umane, poate fi considerată de fapt, drept manifestări mai mult sau mai puţin directe ale propagandei” (autorităţii). Fiecare operă de artă este purtătoare de mesaj, şi implicit, de la început a servit, indiferent dacă scopul ei care, conştient sau nu formulat, participă la întărirea puterii şi reputaţiei (persoanei, instituţiei etc.) care o comanda sau finanţa. Cu toate că din cele mai vechi timpuri exista desigur şi ceea ce am putea denumi arta apolitică: operele decorative, picturile care împodobeau pereţii sau spaţiile structurilor arhitectonice, sau copii de statui plasate în parcurile sau grădinile publice, ele aveau scopuri filantropice şi serveau numai realizării unui mediu convenţional corespunzător, estetic şi ambiental. Credem că o atare abordare, vast concepută, a importanţei artei în mediile sociale, este justificată şi nu se pune în discuţie caracterul şi rolul urmărit şi jucat, funcţia oficială şi a propagandei sale în perioadele sferei de influenţă. Am constatat că monumentele, în decursul timpului, au abundat în mesaje exprimate prin imagini şi figuri concrete, alegorii, simboluri şi legende.

  • The ION JALEA Museum
    Învăţâmânt, Cercetare, Creaţie Vol. 3 No. 1 - 2017 One artist on the seashore – The ION JALEA Museum Lelia RUS PÎRVAN1 Abstract: Located on the seashore, near the Casino boardwalk of Constanta, the ION JALEA MUSEUM is one of the few cultural edifices in our country, exclusively dedicated to sculpture. Ion Jalea was born on May 19, 1887 in Casimcea, Tulcea; his bond with the Dobrudjan lands is proven not only by his cultural legacy, but also by a series of small portraits or sculptures, in which the people’s features, traditional dress or trades materialize in genuine anthropological studies. Carved from all sorts of materials like: plaster, bronze, stone or marble, his theme cycles include allegorical, religious or mythological, war or work scenes, nudes, portraits, peasant characters, culminating with his monumental works, all of them involving his own trademark that rambles anything simple or hazardous favouring a clear, classicized shape. Key-words: Sculpture, museum, artist, war, nude, portrait, human body, mythology Located on the seashore, near the Casino boardwalk of Constanta, the ION JALEA MUSEUM is one of the few cultural edifices in our country, exclusively dedicated to sculpture. The house belonged to Constantin Pariano, Prefect of Constanta and was designed in national (Neo-Romanian) style by the architect Victor Stephanescu, after the Great War. The building became a museum in 1968, when the sculptor initially donated the house to the city of Constanta. Subsequently, in 1984, when the collection was completed with several other sculptures donated by the family of the artist, it reached a total of 227 works.

    Romania Revealed: Saxon Villages, Transylvanian Cities and Byzantine Monasteries 2023 24 MAY – 6 JUN 2023 Code: 22314 Tour Leaders Dr Adrian Jones, OAM Physical Ratings Explore Romania’s great scenic beauty & diverse culture in rich art collections, walled cities, medieval castles, Saxon fortified churches, frescoed Moldavian monasteries & secluded old villages. Overview Assoc. Professor Adrian Jones, OAM and arts educator and consultant Angelica Iacob lead this tour of little-known, extraordinarily diverse Romania. Moldavia's unique heritage of painted monasteries, where every inch of both inner and outer walls is covered with brilliantly coloured late medieval and early modern Byzantine paintings. Centuries-old wooden churches and villages nestled in medieval agricultural landscapes of isolated Maramures; one of the richest heritages of wood architecture in the world. Picturesque old Saxon cities originating from the 11th-century German migration to Transylvania. Medieval fortified churches built by German migrants; these once existed in Western Europe but are long gone from there. Grand country houses and palaces like Princess Marie of Romania's Pelisor, and Mogosoaia Palace, which fuses Italian Renaissance, Ottoman and indigenous elements in a unique harmony. Fine collections of Romanian and European art with brilliant Eastern icons and the works of masters such as Van Eyck, Brueghel, El Greco, Rembrandt and Brancusi. Priceless collections of gold artefacts, dating from the Paleolithic to the 20th century. Beautiful mountain landscapes, with some of Europe's most ancient forests. Some of the best collections of old Turkish carpets outside Istanbul's Topkapi Palace and the V & A, in old Saxon churches, especially Brasov's Black Church.
