Romanian art

  • Constantin Brâncuşi – “father of modern sculpture” – probably the Romanian artist with greatest influence on international level. Too bad there are no Nobel prizes for art.
  • Nicolae Grigorescu – most well-kown Romanian painter

Romanian literature

A good source for translated poems is Romanian Voice.

  • Mihai Eminescu – every nation has a “greatest poet”. For us, it’s Mihai Eminescu. Selected works in English here.
  • Paul Celan – the hidden gem of post-WWII poetry

Books about Romania:

Never mind the Balkans. Here’s Romania“, by Mike Ormsby.  (thanks vasilissa for the reference)
