Catargi Henri

Henri Catargi made intimate prints and paintings in mid-20th-century Bucharest. A quiet regular at Herăstrău Park, he turned its paths and benches into calm scenes like Peisaj din parcul Herăstrău. His portraits feel close-up, as in Portret de femeie, while figure studies like Sanda – “Figurină în roșu” bring warm color to simple poses. Even the refinery on canvas, Rafinărie, stays calm, the machinery softened by brushwork. Next, tap Peisaj din parcul Herăstrău to wander the same paths Catargi painted.
