On the Creation of Painter Octavian Smigelschi Towards a Reassessment of Landscape

  • TITLU în română: Cu privire la crearea pictorului Octavian Smigelschi către o reevaluare a peisajului
  • Subiect: The article deals with some aspects of the landscape painting of Octavian Smigelschi (1866- 1912), starting from the extensive study written by Iulia Mesea: Peisagişti din sudul Transilvaniei între tradiţional şi modern. Our contribution consists in bringing some additional information about the genesis of the artist’s works. I consider that correlated with image analysis, biographical information can provide a new dimension to Smigelschi’s landscapes, which were created in two major temporal stages, the first lasting between 1886 and 1900 and the second from 1905 to 1906. I insist both on the message underlying the works and on identifying the Western European influences on the artist. I believe that some of these works are indebted to John Ruskin’s theories, while others, with a documentary purpose, were achieved under the influence of the monographic studies that dominated the period and, especially, under the influence of Professor Stefan Gróh, yet others being echoes of Jugendstil.
