About the Item

Signed lower right.
Natalia Dumitresco (or Dumitrescu) was born in Bucharest in 1915 and died in Chars in 1997.
After studying at the Bucharest Academy of Fine Arts, she married Alexandre Istrati in 1939. She worked and exhibited in Romania for seven years before leaving for France in 1947. Upon arriving in Paris, the couple was welcomed by their compatriot, the sculptor Constantin Brancusi. Initially highly constructivist, his constantly evolving work evokes built structures, urban plans, and aerial views. Ranging from rigorous constructions in sober tones (sometimes simply black and white) to airy and colorful canvases, the line always predominates. Friends to the end, Brancusi appointed the couple as his executor, and they now share a grave in the Montparnasse Cemetery.

Natalia Dumitresco
After studying at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bucharest, she arrived in Paris in 1947 with her husband, Alexandre Istrati, also a painter. They were welcomed by their compatriot, the sculptor Constantin Brâncuși, who hosted them in a studio next to his, impasse Ronsin in the 15th arrondissement. Their friendship will last until the end and Brâncuși will appoint the couple as executors. Dumitresco received numerous awards, including the Kandinsky Prize in 1955. She shares a grave in the Montparnasse cemetery with Constantin Brâncuși and Alexandre Istrati.
