Dimitrie Paciurea

Dimitrie Paciurea

Dimitrie Paciurea (1 November (1873 or 1875) – 14 July 1932) was a Romanian sculptor. His representational and symbolic style contrasts strongly to the more abstract style of his contemporary and co-national Constantin Brâncuși.

Born in Bucharest, he studied at the National School of Fine Arts in Bucharest (1890–1894), and later in Paris (1896–1900).

In 1909 he was named professor at the National School of Fine Arts. Paciurea was one of the founders of the Romanian Art Society (1919). His students include Cornel Medrea, Ion Jalea, and Oscar Han. A room of the Romanian National Art Museum is devoted largely to his Chimera sculptures.
