Description
Henri Catargi (b. 1894, Bucharest, Romania - d. 1976, Bucharest, Romania) was a renowned Romanian artist. Catargi had a crucial impact on the local art scene at the beginning of the 20th century, bringing European influences into Romanian traditional art. Catargi graduated from Académie Julian and Academie Ranson under the careful guidance of Maurice Denis and Édouard Vuillard. A turning point in his artistic evolution was discovering Nicolas Poussin’s work in the Louvre Museum.
Catargi’s art practice developed continuously throughout his career, leaving behind an impressive body of works–his paintings and drawings include landscapes, portraits, nudes, and still life, using media such as oil on canvas, watercolour, and ink on paper. Over the years, his stylistic influences varied widely, all periods being traversed by an attention to technique, colour, and composition. Later in his life, he embraced a modern approach to realistic representation.
After his first exhibition in Paris, Catargi began to present his work internationally in countries such as the UK, Japan, Egypt, Czechia, and Romania.
