Ion Țarălungă

Ion Țarălungă is an artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at National Museum of Romanian History.

Ion Țarălungă’s prints show official portraits of Elena Ceaușescu from the late 1970s and 80s, ordered by the Ministry of National Defense. In one print she stands stiff in a lab coat beside a microscope; in another she receives flowers from a soldier in front of a crowd of young people. Both prints were delivered as gifts in 1979 and 1984.

See how these state-commissioned images mix stiff formality with small human details. Tap “Omagiu” to zoom into the flower-bouquet moment.
