PROVENANCE

collection of literary critic Șerban Cioculescu

Lucia Bălăcescu's artistic career has its roots in her attendance at the "Buser" Institute in Switzerland. The artist then went to Bucharest, where she had Ipolit Strâmbu, Dimitrie Serafim, Gheorghe Petrașcu and Eustație Stonescu as teachers. She will then, according to the tradition of the time, graduate from the famous Parisian Art Academies, and will return to the country, where she will consistently participate in exhibitions in Bucharest. In 1916, she joined the newly founded "Association of Female Painters and Sculptors", together with Cecilia Cuțescu-Storck, Olga Greceanu and Nina Arbore. Lucia Bălăcescu's work is distinguished by the narrative illusion proposed by her plastic language. She adopts a colour palette inspired by the fovea and paints parks, gardens, the sea, fairs or the rural world in true pictorial frescoes. Her fertile imagination and abstract spirit will encompass all the local colour of the era in her renderings of cityscapes Following the chronological pace of her creation, we discover numerous views from Cișmigiu. The artist illustrates the richness of the overgrown garden and places, in a scrappy way, a few characters wrapped in costumes of the period. In the history of Romanian visual art, Lucia Bălăcescu has adopted her own plastic style, easily recognizable, on the border between avant-garde and naive art.
