A CULTURE ”PAINTED WITH DIFFERENT COLOURS” ON THE TERRITORY OF ROMANIA (CERAMICS)

Summary/Abstract: The present study has in view an ancient period from the History of Art on the territory of Romania, that is the Eneolithic one. Though it is a utilitarian field, ceramics can not be separated from the artistic side which has accompanied the creative manifestations of people since immemorial times. In a developed Eneolithic – which itself comes with changes, among which it is very important the level reached by the creative activity of the human being of that time –, the culture Petrești is one of the important cultures with ceramics painted polychrome, which occupies a central place near the wellknown Cucuteni culture. Despite the poor conservation of pots (but also of the small statuettes), this ceramics completes the image of painted and not painted cultures of the period.
