Poch Albert

Poch Albert left behind a small group of drawings and one sculpture made during Romania’s communist years. Their titles read like headlines, În piața...comună, Trebuie să scăpăm de el, Mi-am făcut autocritica, sharp, ironic comments on daily life under the regime. The linework is quick and direct, like notes you’d scribble in a notebook and never meant to frame.

See how the sculpture’s stiff, blocky shape mirrors the bluntness of the drawings. Tap La noi are doar 1/2 normă to compare five works that slice straight to the contradictions of the time.
