2010, Posticum, Oradea Lot Notes

Marc Kopil about computer games: Computer games [...] represent people's need to escape from the mundane and commonplace world around 

us, into a more fantastic realm, in which, paradoxically, things seem to be more safe and well-ordered than

in the real world. I know it is not a serious alternative to reality, but what I'm trying to say is that we all tend to

run away from the toxic reality that sorounds us.

2010, Posticum, Oradea Lot Notes

Marc Kopil about his angels: To be honest, I don't know what angels are, what they look like, or how to explain them. But the church,

and the religion in general, doesn't have exclusive copyright on them. Maybe they are the people of the

future, unaltered by urban despair; maybe angels are us in a future or past life; maybe they are the purest expression of our need for love - that need which we always postpone because of being too busy with our 

immediate and rather ridiculous 'needs' as consumers.

Estimate

EUR 40.000-50.000 

Provenance

Ex-collection ALEXANDRU HASAŞ, Oradea.

Lot Notes

Corneliu Baba did not joined the modernism of 20th century. He rather developed a sui generis style,somethimes considered unfashionably for a 20th century painter, focusing on what Baba himself cited, ElGreco, Rembrandt, and Goya as particularly strong influences. I have asked myself so many times, as others

have asked me too, why I am held in such thrall by El Greco, by Rembrandt, and by Goya… Rembrandt is the

nearest to me. (quoted by Pavel Susara in his book Corneliu Baba, London: Parkstone, 2001. p. 123).

Corneliu Baba favourite subjects were the psychological portrait, the harlequin, and the mad king. Thepresent lot represent, probably , the most profound psychological child portrait in the history of Romanian

painting.
