Description
Sandu Darie (b. 1908 in Roman, Romania - d. 1991 in Havana, Cuba) was a Romanian artist. Initially trained as a lawyer, Darie's path as a painter crystallised during the 1940s. Given his close ties with Stephan Roll and the Romanian Avant-garde movement, Darie quickly developed a unique style through his innovative capacity of synthesising reality. He settled in Havana where he joined the Latin-American geometric abstract group MADI and later became a member of Los Pintores Concretos group
Darie's work captures glimpses of Concrete Art, mixing primary colours and form, fused with a geometric rigorousness stimulated by Mondrian's Neoplasticism. His innovative view on art is focused on irregular-shaped paintings and structures with moving parts, evoking the main principles of the MADI group, the members of which desired to challenge the traditional perspective in painting through a new concrete and physical reality of art.
Throughout his life, Darie exhibited his works in many countries such as the US, Japan, Cuba, France, and the Netherlands. His paintings are part of both private and public collections, including the Modern Art Museum of New York and the Royal Fine Arts Academy in The Hague.
