Romul Nuțiu
Romul Nuțiu (July 28, 1932 – April 5, 2012) was one of the most constant artists dedicated to Abstraction from the Romanian art scene. Even though he had not left the country to work abroad during his lifetime, his international career has risen since 2008, when he started a fruitful collaboration with Joana Grevers, art dealer and historian based in Munich, Germany.
Son of a forester and a housewife from Bilbor, Harghita County, Nuțiu attended the primary school from Cașva village, Mureș County in 1938. In 1940, following the Second Vienna Award and the transfer of Northern Transylvania to Hungary, he took refuge in Blaj. After settling in Reghin in 1941, he graduated from the Petru Maior Pedagogical High School at the end of the 1940s.
From 1951 to 1957, he studied at the Ion Andreescu Fine Arts Institute in Cluj, with the professors Petru Feier and Teodor Harsia. Leon Vreme, Paul Sima, Mircea Balau, Vasile Pop Szilagy, Alexandru Cristea, Edwin Solomon, and Sofia Kryzanowska were among his colleagues.
In 1957, he settled in Timișoara, where he participated for the first time at the Annual Fine Arts Salon, where he exhibited permanently since then. With the occasion of the salon opening, he met Catul Bogdan, Alexandru Ciucurencu, Petru Comarnescu, and Romul Ladea. In 1958, he pursued a documentation and specialisation stage at the Nicolae Grigorescu Fine Arts Institute in Bucharest, with professor Alexandru Ciucurencu.
In 1960, he started teaching at the Fine Arts High School in Timișoara, working besides the professor Julius Podlipny, and having a good pedagogical collaboration with him. In 1961, he also became a lecturer at the University in Timișoara, Graphics Department, until 1979. In the same year, he became a member of Visual Artists' Union of Romania.
In 1962, he married Felicia Bircea, also a teacher and they had a daughter, Simona, born in 1966, who also became an active artist later on.
Starting from 1968, he was the author of a few important murals and decorative works along the country – the Railway Station Hall in Băile Herculane, with a ceramic mosaic, entitled Tradition, a monumental art project – Science, Literature and Art, transposed in colored cements technique, together with Gabriel Kazynczy (1973), an ensemble of two monumental works at the Orizont Hotel in Predeal, with the theme 'horizon' and 'the tree' (1977) or the 1986's monumental artwork Mapamond, in the al secco technique, designed for Timișoara International Airport and created along with the artist Lidia Ciolac.
In 1992, he was named professor at the Art Faculty of West University in Timișoara, in the Painting Department, until 1998, when he retired. He returned as a professor at Tibiscus University, the Design Faculty, and from 2002 he was an associate professor at the West University again.
