Description
Ipolit Strâmbu (1871 - 1934) was a well-recognised Romanian Impressionist painter whose practice echoed not only in Romania, but also internationally, especially at the Fine Arts School in Münich where he studied. He was a professor at the Painting School in Baia Mare, Romania, being highly esteemed there.
Widely acknowledged for his unique Impressionist approach to expressivity and social representation, his paintings remark themselves through vivid arrays of colours and tranquil settings. His fine observational capacity constructs careful atmospheres of reverie and reflexiveness under well-mastered hues of colours and situations. Alongside capturing people in different social contexts and emotional states, Strâmbu realised a series of important nude paintings. His diffuse brush strokes and eclectic backgrounds imprint the ephemerality of human nature and beauty.
Strâmbu was considered an important name internationally, active in the same generation with artists Nicolae Grigorescu and Arthur Verona. In 1924, he was exhibited at the Venice Biennial, and the following year at the International Exhibition of Modern Industrial and Decorative Arts in Paris. Major retrospectives were held at Craiova Art Museum in 1971 and at the Art Museum of Drobeta-Turnu Severin in 1984.
