National art and industry in the interwar period. Three Romanian factories
National art and industry in the interwar period. Three Romanian factories

Summary/Abstract: This article aims to recover a less studied subject of great interest: the encounter between arts and industry in the first half of the 20th century, particularly in the interwar period, on Romanian territory. The case study of the paper is the activity of three industrial establishments: the DAC Luxury Ceramics factory in Satu Mare, the Ernest Rüffer faience stoves and ceramic factory in Bucharest, the Tompa Brothers Ceramics and Art Industry in Turda. The article intends to show details about the history and production of these factories to analyze how the small industrialists contributed to defining the national art discourse and production in the era. At the same time, the work tries to fill a gap regarding the knowledge of Romanian applied arts in the interwar period.
