Primele două ediţii ale albumului bucurandu-se de un deosebit succes, vă propunem lucrarea intr-un format mai mic, extrem de accesibil şi de atractiv. „Fenomenul Grigorescu” nu poate lipsi din bibliotecile noastre, aşa cum pictorul insuşi nu lipseşte din sufletul romanilor, cu peisajele sale scăldate in lumina liniştită a amurgului şi carele cu boi venind parcă din istoria ancestrală a neamului, cu portretele in care se reflectă atat de convingător atitudinea caldă a artistului faţă de model, cu icoanele ce slujesc şi astăzi drept imagini ale sacralităţii in unele biserici, cu „cronicile” din Războiul de Independenţă, conturate de penelul său, cu expresivitatea, prospeţimea, culoarea şi măiestria specifice artei grigoresciene.

Grigorescu

As the prior editions of this album were very successful, we would like to present it to you in a different format, an extremely accessible and attractive one. The ‘’Grigorescu phenomena’’ is a must in our bookcases, just as the painter himself is present in the hearts of Romanians with his landscapes bathed in the peaceful light of the sunset and his carts pulled by oxen that seem descended out of the ancient history of the people, with his portraits that reflect in the most convincing manner the warm attitude of the painter for his models, with his icons that are even today images of sacredness in some churches, with his ‘’memorials’’ from The War of Independence, settled into shape by his brush, with his specific expressivity, freshness and the colors and artistry specific for his art.

Grigorescu

Le succès des premières deux éditions de l’album nous permet de proposer le livre dans un nouvel format, petit, très accessible et attractif. « Le phénomène Grigorescu » ne peut manquer de nos bibliothèques, tout comme ni le peintre ne pourrait manquer de l’ame roumaine, avec ses paysages baignés dans la paisible lumière du crépuscule, avec les chars aux bœufs qui semblent descendre de l’histoire ancestrale du peuple, avec les portraits, si convaincants, qui reflètent l’attitude affectueuse de l’artiste envers le modèle, avec les icônes qui sont aujourd’hui encore les images de la sacralité en certaines églises, avec « les chroniques » de la Guerre pour l’Indépendance, figurées sous son pinceau, avec l’expressivité, la fraicheur, la couleur et la maitrise spécifiques à l’art grigorescien.

Pictorul florilor, pictorul care a dat magie culorii, Ştefan Luchian a adus cele mai indrăzneţe innoiri tehnice, forţand limitele unor genuri sau, dimpotrivă, concentrandu-le, ajungand la expresii umaniste de o neintrecută măiestrie. Tocmai pentru că a fost un spirit frămantat de mari năzuinţe, tocmai pentru că a pus suflet şi substanţă in tot ceea ce a creat, Luchian a ajuns la o tehnică atat de preţioasă şi nouă. Albumul Luchian, prezentand opere de artă excepţionale, unele foarte cunoscute, cele mai multe necunoscute marelui public, cuprinde şi un studiu documentat, deosebit de interesant, semnat de Alexandru Cebuc, in care se impletesc date despre viaţa şi activitatea pictorului cu citate din personalităţi ale lumii artistice. Lucrarea doreşte să ofere iubitorilor de artă autentică prilejul de unei reintalniri cu opera unui mare colorist care şi-a pus amprenta pe creaţia romanească a inceputului de secol XX. Modul elegant şi accesibil de prezentare, calitatea ilustraţiilor (129 de imagini color şi sepia) sunt cele care recomandă albumul atat cunoscătorilor in domeniu, cat şi oricărui iubitor de frumos.

Luchian

A painter of flowers, a painter who put magic into colors, Ștefan Luchian used the most daring and newest techniques, pushing the limits of some specific genre, or, on the contrary, focusing them, and thus reaching humanistic expressions of unsurpassable artistry. Because he was a spirit tormented by great aspirations, because he put his heart in his works, Luchian achieved such a precious and new technique. This album presents exceptional works of art – some of them being well known, but most being still undiscovered by the great public – and an exceptionally interesting and well documented study, signed by Alexandru Cebuc, in which he offers us data about the painter`s life and activity, together with opinions of artistic personalities. This book is meant to give art lovers the opportunity to meet once again with the work of a great colorist that really influenced the Romanian art at the beginning of the 20th century. The elegant and yet accessible way of presentation, the quality of the replicas (129 color and sepia images) truly recommend this album to those who know well this field and to those who love art.

Luchian

Peintre des fleurs, peintre ayant enveloppé la couleur en magie, Ştefan Luchian est venu avec les plus audacieuses innovations techniques, les limites de certains genres étant franchies ou, au contraire, concentrées en expressions humanistes d’une inégalable maitrise. C’est justement pour avoir été un esprit tourmenté par de grandes aspirations, pour avoir empreint de son ame et rempli de substance toute sa création que Luchian est parvenu à une technique si précieuse et si nouvelle. L’album Luchian, avec des œuvres exceptionnelles, certaines bien connues, d’autres inconnues au grand public, inclut également une étude documentée, très intéressante, signée par Alexandru Cebuc, où l’on trouve des informations concernant la vie et l’activité du peintre, ainsi que des citations appartenant aux personnalités du monde artistique.
Le livre veut offrir aux amateurs d’art authentique l’occasion d’une nouvelle rencontre avec l’œuvre d’un grand coloriste qui a marqué la création roumaine au début du XXe siècle. L’élégance de la présentation, la qualité des illustrations (129 en couleurs et sépia) recommandent l’album aussi bien aux connaisseurs qu’à tous ceux qui sont passionnés du beau.

Peisaje, naturi statice, nuduri redate intr-o atmosferă de rafinată senzualitate, combinaţii subtile ale tonurilor de culoare, acorduri cromatice de o copleşitoare delicateţe – toate aceste măiestre realizări ale penelului marelui pictor Theodor Pallady il invită pe privitor la contemplare, reflecţie, admiraţie. Sunt tablouri mai puţin cunoscute publicului de azi (multe provenind din colecţii particulare), ale căror insuşiri trezesc interesul faţă de opera acestui senior al picturii romaneşti. Artistul s-a dovedit a fi păstrătorul unui tezaur de sensibilitate şi de tradiţie artistică ce-l leagă de creaţiile maeştrilor anonimi, zugravi ai frescelor din vechile lăcaşuri de cult moldoveneşti, in sensul construcţiei simple şi riguroase, al stilizărilor intemeiate pe o desăvarşită logică a simplificărilor, a cromaticii rafinate, amintind transparenţa culorilor vegetale. Intre Pallady şi Matisse, colegi in atelierul aceluiaşi maestru de la Paris, dar mai ales prieteni de o viaţă, s-au remarcat unele similitudini; şi totuşi, deşi aceeaşi tendinţă de sinteză apare la amandoi, Matisse se dovedeşte mai decorativ şi mai abstract, iar Pallady mai intim şi mai rafinat. Pentru bucuria de a privi opere excepţionale, pentru privilegiul de a urmări, prin paginile Corespondenţei, amiciţia deosebită dintre cei doi artişti de excepţie, pentru dreptul primit de a-l cunoaşte pe Pallady, cel care se confesează in Jurnal, şi pentru că era necesar să ne fie din nou aproape, vă invităm să deschideţi albumul dedicat lui şi apărut in ingrijirea lui Alexandru Cebuc, acelaşi pasionat de Marea Pictură.

Pallady

Landscapes, still natures, nudes rendered in a sophisticated sensual atmosphere, subtle combination of shades, chromatic compositions of an overwhelming delicacy – all these remarkable accomplishments of the great painter Theodor Pallady invite the spectator to contemplate, reflect and admire. These aren`t well known paintings to the contemporary public (many of them are in private collections), but their characteristics evoke interest towards the work of this true senior of Romanian painting. The artist was proven to be the guardian of a real treasure of sensibility and artistic tradition that connects him to the works of the anonymous masters, painters of the frescoes in the ancient Moldavian churches, as to the simple and rigorous structure, to stylizations based on a perfect logics of simplicity, of subtle chromatic, recalling the transparency of vegetable colors. Between Pallady and Matisse, colleagues in the studio of their master in Paris and lifetime friends, were noticed some similarities; although this tendency towards synthesis can be discovered to both of them, Matisse proves to be more ornamental and abstract, while Pallady, more intimate and more subtle. For the delight to admire exceptional works, for the benefit of discovering, through the pages of Correspondence, the remarkable friendship between two exceptional artists, for the given right of getting to know Pallady who is confessing in his Journal and for the urge to feel him close to us again we invite you to open the album consecrated to him and published under the supervision of Alexandru Cebuc, passionate for the Great Painting.

Pallady

Paysages, natures mortes, nus présentés dans une atmosphère de raffinée sensualité, des combinaisons subtiles des tons de couleur, des accords chromatiques d’une profonde délicatesse – toutes ces merveilleuses exécutions du pinceau du grand peintre Theodor Pallady invitent le spectateur à la contemplation, à la réflexion, à l’admiration. Ce sont des tableaux moins connus au public d’aujourd’hui (beaucoup provenant des collections privées), dont les qualités éveillent l’intérêt pour l’œuvre de ce seigneur de la peinture roumaine. L’artiste s’est avéré le possesseur d’un trésor de sensibilité et de tradition artistique qui l’apparentent aux créations des maitres anonymes, peintres des fresques dans les vieux établissements de culte moldaves, au sens de la construction simple et rigoureuse, des stylisations fondées sur une parfaite logique des simplifications, de la chromatique raffinée, rappelant la transparence des couleurs végétales. Entre Pallady et Matisse, collègues dans l’atelier du même maitre, à Paris, certaines similitudes ont été remarquées ; et pourtant, bien que le même penchant vers la synthèse apparaisse chez tous les deux, Matisse s’avère plus décoratif et plus abstrait, tandis que Pallady est plus intime et plus raffiné. Pour la joie de pouvoir regarder des œuvres exceptionnelles, pour le privilège de connaitre, à travers la Correspondance, l’amitié spéciale ayant lié les deux artistes extraordinaires, pour le droit de connaitre Pallady, à travers ses confessions du Journal, et parce qu’il fallait qu’il fût de nouveau près de nous, acceptez notre invitation d’ouvrir l’album qui lui est dédié, paru sous la signature d’Alexandru Cebuc, le même passionné de la Grande Peinture.
