🪡🧵Romanian women have been coding signs for ages. Their threads bind apotropaic symbols into scrolls of fabrics and garments, according to complex systems, which have been developing since the Neolithic ages. In this pocket size comics collection I tried to gather bits of the pixel's long forgotten story. The rough English version of the 36 page publication is available here >>> https://issuu.com/sorivazelina/docs/mostrar2_eng

To flip through the Romanian version please visit the exhibition, at the Peasant Museum in Bucharest, open till the 9th of January 2025. It was built as a reflection on a unique anonymous textile piece, discovered in the archive of the ASTRA Museum in Sibiu. The hyper-sensorial works, leading up to this marvel of over 200 embroidered motifs, belong to artists such as Aurelie Morillas, Marlene Herberth, Marin Raica, Sillyconductor, Anamaria Lungu, Atelier Vrac, all brought together by the Dala Foundation and Ovidiu Daneș, who has been saving the local architectural, intangible and natural heritage, together with his wife Luminița, for more than a decade, also via the CUCA festival.

Young Girl Bathing

Artist: Attributed to Pierre-Paul Prud'hon (French, 1758 - 1823)

Date: 1782

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens, San Marino, CA, United States

Information

Few works from the earliest period of Pierre-Paul Prud'hon's career have survived, making it difficult to attribute this painting on stylistic grounds. Although the signature and date at lower left were partially effaced when the painting was cleaned, photographs made in the early twentieth century show that the canvas once bore the date 1782. This was the same year that the young and ambitious artist first went to Paris from his native Dijon, and this date, if accurate, would make the work one of the earliest known paintings by Prud'hon. While in Paris, Prud'hon lodged with the Fauconniers, a family of fellow Burgundians. A member of this family owned this painting as late as 1874. In addition to the circumstantial evidence for an attribution to Prud'hon provided by this provenance, the work resembles in some of its details, such as the draperies, certain drawings Prud'hon made in this early period of his career. As a mature artist, Prud'hon became known for his idiosyncratic and proto-romantic interpretation of the then-fashionable neoclassicism and for his extensive work for the Napoleonic court.
