ION THEODORESCU SION: LIFE AS A NOVEL

“Even though he only lived 57 years, we have before us a painter who enjoyed great success in the interwar period, an artist who had 14 solo exhibitions, who attended almost all the official salons in Bucharest and who exhibited with the Artistic Youth, alongside the greatest Romanian masters of the time. Ion Theodorescu-Sion is the artist who created a stir with his paintings, true symphonies dedicated to defining the ‘Romanian specificity,’ as he was a convinced unionist and a military hero of World War I.” (Elena Olariu)
