CONSTANTIN GĂVENEA. A GRAPHIC HISTORY OF TULCEA THROUGH WATERCOLORS AND LITHOGRAPHS FROM 1951-1984

Summary/Abstract: This study brings to the foreground a fragment of the contemporary history of Tulcea and the Deltaic area, through photographic reproductions of 25 graphic works from the patrimony of the Tulcea Art Museum. Constantin Găvenea, a graphic artist who lived and created in Tulcea,art teacher and one of the founders of the local branch of the Union of Fine Artists, has left through his works realized in watercolor or lithography technique both works with artistic value and true historical documents. The artist was a direct witness to the transformations in the urban space of Tulcea in the period immediately after the Second World War, to the reconfiguration of the city through a policy of demolishing buildings considered bourgeois or not in line with the new vision of the party. Together with the surviving photographs from that period, his works, quickly laid down on paper, give an image of a city that,to us in the 21st century, seems as if it never existed.
