Description

Lucian Grigorescu, one of the few Romanian post-impressionist painters, followed the courses of the Academy of Fine Arts in Bucharest. He was forced to drop out of university due to the war but went back to finish it under the guidance of George Demetrescu Mirea. He continued his studies in Rome, Paris and the south of France. 

Throughout his life, Grigorescu participated in countless salons and exhibitions, becoming an innovative and emblematic artist for Romania.

“Landscape from Balcic is a work that marks the artistic and creative maturity of Lucian Grigorescu. The artist has always been inspired by cities with old houses, mysterious streets surrounded by fortress walls, the sea and the quiet, bohemian, sun-bathed Danubian-Pontic towns. He focused, for a long period in his life, on capturing the atmosphere from cities such as Balchik, Constanta, Mangalia, the region of Arges, Bucharest and even Cassis. The painter expressed his intense emotions through his specific chromatic, focused on warm colours next to browns, sienna, green, blue sweetened by orange tones. The rounded brushstrokes give dynamism and liveliness to his landscapes.

 

Unul dintre puținii pictori din România considerați post-impresioniști, Lucian Grigorescu urmează cursurile Academiei de Belle Arte din București și chiar dacă le întrerupe din cauza războiului, le reia sub îndrumarea lui George Demetrescu Mirea. Își continuă studiile la Roma și la Paris ajungând până în sudul Franței. 

De-a lungul vieții, Grigorescu a participat la nenumărate saloane și expoziții, devenind un artist inovator și emblematic pentru România. 

„Peisaj din Balcic” este o operă care reprezintă perioada de maturitate artistică și creatoare a lui Lucian Grigorescu. Artistul a fost dintotdeauna inspirat de orașe cu case vechi, de străduțe misterioase, înconjurate de ziduri de cetate, de mare și de aerul boem al soarelui ce scaldă viața liniștită a orășelelor danubiano-pontice. Își dedică mare parte din viață imortalizând orașe precum Balcic, Constanța, Mangalia, regiunea Argeșului, București ajungând până la Cassis. Pictorul iși exprimă emoțiile intense prin paleta cromatică specifică, axată pe culori calde exaltate de brunuri, siena, verde și albastruri îndulcite de tonuri de orange. Tușele sale, cu rotunjimi, conferă dinamism și prospețime peisajului.
