Description
Paul Păun was a Romanian and Israeli Avant-Garde poet, visual artist and medical doctor. In his youth, he was inspired by the poetry of Vladimir Mayakovsky and Sergei Yesenin, as well as the Romanian Avant-Garde magazine unu. In the early 1930s he co-founded magazines Alge and Viața Imediată and experimented with licentious, ludic themes, before turning to Marxism and Surrealism. He graduated from the University of Bucharest Faculty of Medicine in 1940 and joined the Bucharest Surrealist group known as the “Group of Five” formed along with Gherasim Luca, Gellu Naum, Dolfi Trost and Virgil Teodorescu.The group survived clandestinely during the war years and re-emerged after the war, with many of their collective works written in French.. Păun was also a surrealist painter and illustrator. Due to communist censorship, he stopped publishing or exhibiting his work and emigrated to Israel in his late forties where he focused on his medical career.
