tales from the jungle of the auctions (film: Le tableau volé – Pascal Bonitzer, 2024)
Art-related movies fascinate me. Biographies of artists, the fate of famous paintings, spectacular heists of art objects or dramas from the world of artists or collectors have generated successful and good quality films. ‘Le tabeau volé‘ (English distribution title is … Continue reading

De la arheologie la arta viitorului
Două evenimente culturale ale lungii și fierbinții vere israeliene au prilejuit o legătură interesantă între arheologia românească și șantierele și descoperirile arheologice din ultima sută de ani și tendințele cele mai recente din artele plastice, cele care trasează direcțiile artei … Continue reading
Acasă la Marcel Iancu
Marcel Iancu pare să fi trăit mai multe vieți de-a lungul unei singure existențe umane. Colegii săi de la liceul „Gheorghe Lazăr”, de la sfârșitul primului deceniu al secolului XX, l-au cunoscut pe tânărul bucureștean îndrăgostit de artă, prieten al … Continue reading

a Van Gogh like no other (film: Van Gogh – Maurice Pialat, 1991)

the painter and the writer (Film: Cézanne et moi – Danièle Thompson, 2016)

a failed art essay (documentary: Francofonia – Alexandr Sokurov, 2015)
I confess that I am not a big fan of Russian director Aleksandr Sokurov. Many consider him the greatest Russian director of the 21st century and Tarkovsky‘s successor on Earth. I wasn’t at all excited (euphemism!) About ‘Russian Ark‘, I … Continue reading
