| description | The art historians G. Oprescu (1881–1969) and Remus Niculescu (1927–2005) are those who studied closely the life and work of Nicolae Grigorescu (1838–1907), the most famous Romanian painter in the XIXth c., who left the Ecole des beaux-arts in Paris for the free school of Barbizon. This paper examines their positioning toward Nicolae Grigorescu’s relationship with the Swiss art critic William Ritter and raises question of subjectivity of interpretation. G. Oprescu’s view, who was also the publisher of William Ritter’s letters to the Romanian painter, is an excessively and incomprehensibly negative one. I will use also some inedited manuscript marginal notes of G. Oprescu on Ritter’s letters. Remus Niculescu avoids any comment on G. Oprescu’s opinions and examines rigorously from an art-historical perspective the texts written by William Ritter on Nicolae Grigorescu’s painting, published in different foreign art journals. Between focusing obsessively on the personal relationship of the two friends and ignoring them totally I will try to argue another view on the meeting Grigorescu-Ritter. |
