Description
Ion Popescu Negreni (1907 - 2001) was a Romanian artist and professor, locally esteemed for his achievements. He studied at the Fine Art Academy in Bucharest under the guidance of Camil Ressu and Constantin Artachino. Negreni received multiple national awards throughout his career, working with painting, drawing and sculpture.
The paintings of Negreni range in subject matter from still lives and landscapes to genre painting and portraiture. His works paint an intricate picture of modern living, using warm tones and balanced colours. In his scenes of everyday life, a particular attention is given to the characters’ clothing over individual facial expressions. Often bright-coloured or patterned, they suggest cultural shifts and different expressions of belonging. Fashion bears affective capacities, becoming, akin to the flowers in the painter’s still lives, a canvas for emotion.
Negreni had both solo and group exhibitions in Bucharest all throughout his career. His works were part of several international showcases of Romanian art abroad, especially in the 1960s-1970s, in cities such as Prague, Moscow, Skopje, Brasilia, Caracas and Beirut.
