Iosif Iser

Iosif Iser - Romanian painter and graphic artist

21 May 1881 (Bucharest) 25 April 1958 (Bucharest)

1955 - he was elected a full member of the Romanian Academy

He was initially inspired by Expressionism, creating drawings with thick, unmodulated, lines
and steep angles.

Expressionism is the artistic style in which the artist seeks to depict not objective reality but
rather the subjective emotions and responses that objects and events arouse within a person.
The artist accomplishes this aim through distortion, exaggeration, primitivism, and fantasy
and through the vivid, jarring, violent, or dynamic application of formal elements.

After studies in Munich and Paris (with, among others, Andr Derain), Iser worked for the
socialist press (Facla and the original version of Adevrul), publishing a large number of
caricatures (most of them satirising the Romanian Monarchy) :

- Aplicarea constituiei, 1911

- 10 mai, purpur i snge, 1912
- Holera, 1912
- Greva, 1912
- Carol I - 1907

Around 1920, Iosif Iser adopted a more luminous range of colours, while softening the
textures. He continued his "Tatar" themes with his Ttroaic n albastru ("Tatar Woman in
Blue") and Famile de ttari ("Tatar Family").
