Teodor Cioată
Teodor Cioată is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at National Museum of Romanian History.
This artist painted a single large oil canvas titled “23 August,” showing Romania’s 1944 coup day. The scene crowds Nicolae and Elena Ceaușescu in the center—heads and hands are too big and posed awkwardly—while workers below wave flags. The style ignores normal proportions and looks handmade rather than polished. You can tap into the full image of “23 August” to see how the artist shrunk the leaders into the picture’s awkward rhythm.
