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.
