Description
Catul Bogdan, son of the literary historian Gheorghe Bogdan-Duică, trained in Bucharest and later at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris under Ernest Laurent, graduating in 1924. He made his debute in 1919 at the Romanian Athenaeum and subsequently exhibited in Bucharest with Lucian Grigorescu, affirming his place among the modern generation of painters. From 1951 to 1967 he taught at the Institute of Fine Arts in Bucharest, shaping a generation of future artists.
His work was centred on mural painting, while also encompassing a substantial corpus of easel paintings. Defined by structural clarity and chromatic precision, his style reflects both his architectural background and Beaux-Arts training. Positioned between modernist tendencies and a decorative monumental idiom, Bogdan played a consistent and influential role in twentieth-century Romanian art and pedagogy.
