Works by artists Yvonne Hasan (1925 – 2016) and Alma Redlinger (1924 – 2017) are on display at the Sector 1 Gallery at Combinatul Fondului Plastic from July 10 to August 23.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Soft Geometry of Color\/ Geometria moale a coloreorii\u201d, curated by Norbert Filep, brings the artistic world of the two into focus.<\/p>\n
What is striking in these two artistic approaches is a subtle, inherent complementarity that runs through the subjects, conceptual space and formal aspects of the works. The nature of this subtlety bears the imprint of a distant history. It can be traced back to the formative period of the two, more precisely to the connections and practices of a late avant-garde, specific to the pedagogy of M. H. Maxy at the Art School for Jews, founded in 1941 in Bucharest. <\/p>\n
The nature of this subtlety is closely linked to the anachronism marked by the fidelity and consistency of a stylistic trajectory derived from the early years of this school. With fluctuations in both practices – more prominent in the case of Yvonne Hasan<\/a> due to the intersection between art, theory and philosophy -, the specificity of a soft modernism dominates the two creative strategies. Here, freedom and devotion to color, geometry, pictoriality and subject remain intact as a way of thinking, unaltered by the myriad new artistic directions of the past seven decades, the exhibition presentation states. <\/p>\n
