About Stefan Bertalan<\/strong><\/h2>\n\u0218tefan Bertalan, born in the village of R\u0103c\u0103\u0219tia (Hunedoara County) in 1930 and died in Timi\u0219oara in 2014, studied at the Academy of Fine Arts “Ion Andreescu” in Cluj-Napoca between 1956 and 1962, after graduating he was appointed teacher at the Fine Arts High School in Timi\u0219oara. From 1970 to 1981, he taught at the Polytechnic University of Timi\u0219oara, in the Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism, which he left when he decided to emigrate. In 1986 he settled in \u00d6hringen, near Stuttgart, where he lived until 2012, and since 1990 he has regularly returned to Timi\u0219oara.<\/p>\n
In 1965, Bertalan founded Group 111 together with Roman Coto\u0219man and Constantin Flondor, probably the first experimental art collective in communist Romania, followed shortly after by the renowned experimental and interdisciplinary group Sigma (1969 – 1980), which he created together with Constantin Flondor and Doru Tulcan and which was joined by artists, thinkers and researchers from various disciplines. From 1964 to 2014, Bertalan was also a member of the Union of Fine Artists of Timi\u0219oara.<\/p>\n
A leading personality of the Romanian neo-constructivist avant-garde of the late 1950s and 1960s, \u0218tefan Bertalan deepened his research in the field of cybernetics and systems in the 1970s, based on natural forms and organic, mineral and vegetal processes, which led him, about ten years later, to develop a true cosmology in which man and nature are interdependent.<\/p>\n
\u0218tefan Bertalan’s works have been exhibited in numerous renowned institutions, including the Art Museum in Chisinau (2024); Mumok – Museum moderner Kunst Stiftung Ludwig Stiftung Ludwig in Vienna (2022); Kunstmuseum, Liechtenstein (2020); Art Museum in Timi\u0219oara (2012); Venice Biennale (1995); Institute of Architecture in Bucharest (1979).<\/p>\n
