Portrait of Lascăr Vorel

Romanian Post-Impressionist

Lascăr Vorel is a Romanian Post-Impressionist Post-Impressionism artist. 3 works are cataloged here, principally at Neamț National Museum Complex.

Lascăr Vorel, also credited as Forel and Forell, was a Romanian Post-Impressionist painter whose style was linked to Expressionism. He was the scion of a pharmacist clan in Piatra Neamț, but abandoned the family trade to take up drawing, and became a student at Munich's Academy of Fine Arts. Praised as an intellectual as well as a painter, he moved away from Art Nouveau, studying Cubism and Expressionism, and exchanging ideas with a young Marcel Duchamp. Vorel also worked as a cartoonist for Der Komet magazine, befriending Albert Bloch, Hanns Bolz and Erich Mühsam, and frequenting Café Stefanie.
