Description
Simion A. Iuca (1907–1994) was a Romanian engraver, painter and professor whose career bridged the academic discipline of Bucharest’s art school with the cosmopolitan
influences of interwar Paris. Trained at the National School of Fine Arts under George Demetrescu Mirea, Constantin Artachino and Camil Ressu, he also earned a law degree which later informed his role in drafting educational reforms and founding the Department of Graphics at the Nicolae Grigorescu Institute of Fine Arts.
From 1929 to 1936 he lived in Paris, studying at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Lucien Simon’s atelier and learning engraving from Jean Antonin Delzers, Antoine-François Dezarrois and Auguste Mathieu. He exhibited at major Parisian salons and in Bucharest, earning in 1934 the Order of the Crown of Romania in the rank of Knight and membership in prestigious French art associations.
Returning to Romania, he combined teaching at the Academy of Fine Arts with a prolific artistic practice, mastering engraving on metal and wood, lithography and monotype. His landscapes and portraits reveal both technical precision and artistic sensitivity, and his works remain in public and private collections, reflecting his enduring influence on Romanian graphic arts.
