Elena Popea

Elena Popea (15 April 1879, Brașov – 19 June 1941, Bucharest) was an Austro-Hungarian-born Romanian Modernist painter whose influences included Impressionism, Expressionism and Cubism.

After that, she spent some time at the artists' colony in Landsberg am Lech, where she took private lessons from Angelo Jank and Caroline Kempter [de].

[1] Her début came in 1905 at the "Expoziția națională", organized by the Asociația Transilvană pentru Literatura Română și Cultura Poporului Român (ASTRA), in Sibiu.

During World War I, she lived in Paris, where she had showings at the Galerie nationale du Jeu de Paume and the Salon des indépendants.

[1] She generally spent her summers painting in the vicinity of Brașov or Cluj, and the rest of the year travelling; wandering as far afield as Scandinavia, Scotland, Spain and the Middle East, with each trip resulting in a new series of canvases.
