Maria Popa Georgescu

Maria Popa Georgescu made prints. In one she showed a snowy Romanian village under winter’s low sky, bare poplars standing like black lace. The print is titled Iarna. She worked in the quiet decades between the wars when Bucharest’s cafés buzzed with talk of modern art yet many artists still looked to the countryside for subjects. Look next at Iarna to see how a single sheet of paper can carry a whole season.
