The Constantin Niţu Collection (A Case Study)
The Constantin Niţu Collection (A Case Study)

Summary/Abstract: The peculiarity of Constantin Niţu’s collection stems from its belonging to an artisan. He is particularly a costume and texture maker: embroidered peasant shirts, thin silk handkerchiefs, homespun skirts, belts, waistbands, wall carpets, pillows, etc. Craftsmanship is the main raison d’etre that gives him a sense of existence. Before 1989 he was a most assiduous participant in the „Cântarea României“ (Song to Romania) Festival, often admitted to the superior (intercounty and national) phases, winning important awards and thus being one of the county’s pieces de resistance.
