Abstract

The period between 1945 and 1948 was a period of great dynamism in Romanian art, one of the most important agents being the Bucharest Surrealist Group. The group of the Romanian surrealists created in 1940 included Gherasim Luca, Dolfi Trost, Paul Păun, Virgil Teodorescu, and Gellu Naum. It was organized by Luca and Naum after their return from Paris, where they were in contact with André Breton’s surrealist group through Romanian painters Victor Brauner and Jacques Hérold. Because of right-wing politics in Romania during the war, many of the group members’ works and theoretical texts remained unpublished until after the war, but their activity was prolific and visible after 1945, including participation at the 1947 “International Surrealist Exhibition” in Paris. They were banned by the Romanian communist regime after 1947. This chapter examines the artworks and theoretical views of the Bucharest group in its connections to second-generation surrealism with contacts to Paris, Marseille, Brno, and Budapest, their works producing instant echoes within this network.
