Description
Gheorghe Popescu, also known as Ghiță Popescu, remains a relatively under-documented figure in twentieth-century Romanian art, despite his substantial activity as a painter and muralist. His oeuvre frequently engages with the theme of the city, portraying urban spaces in transition through a dense, textured handling of paint. In his depicting of urban views, Popescu emphasised the interplay of architectural volumes, vegetation, and atmospheric light, revealing an interest in both structural composition and chromatic vibration. Although detailed records of his career are scarce, these paintings attest to his ability to translate the immediacy of lived experience into a coherent pictorial language situating him among the artists attuned to the evolving physiognomy of Romanian urban life.
