The presence of Ion uculescu in the history of Romanian Art is unique


through its significance: a short moment of synchronism with the
Western fine arts. As some art critics point out, uculescu is said to
have forced the possible and tried the impossible. Though the equivalent of a miracle revelation, it was only just after his large retrospective exhibition that his work would obtain recognition.
His creation can easily be divided into three main stages. The first, defined by pure expressionist colours and lines, is developed along with
the artists second solo exhibition, in 1939. The second stage spans
between 1947-1956 and is known as the folklore-inspired period.
The third and last stage of his artistic work, the totemic period, is
the most controversial and debated stage by art critics. Without any
exageration, the aesthetics and the abstract tendencies from his last
period are not easily assimilated by the Romanian Art due to a unique
and inner algorithm of composition.
Floarea soarelui (1954), mentioned in Petre Comarnescus study
upon the artwork of Ion uculescu, is part of the artists second stage
of creation, the folklore inspired period. A memorable piece of work,
with a willingly larger than life sunflower on the lefthand side and
followed by several others coloured just as brightly as the first one in
yellow, under a stormy sky,Floarea soarelui is closer to the aesthetics of naive art rather than to those of Van Gogh.
The artworks from the folklore inspired period are a tribute to powerful colours, especially orange, yellow and red. They are created in
strong variations of colours , but once the eye gets used to them, they
become less striking and unusual.
The artwork melts into a fusion of colours, lines and shapes, making
possible the imaginary realm. With a deep lyrism consisting of colours
and shapes, one can distinguish in uculescus artwork emotions, love
for life, a strong union with an eternal entity and the turn of phrase of
a deeply lyrical artist.
In the contemporary world of fine arts, confronted with a deep transformation of rules, let us reflect upon uculescus artwork, defined by
a high quality of balance and innovatory perspectives.
