Horia Damian

Horia Damian (Bucharest, 27 Feb 1922 - Paris 14 May 2012)[1] was a Romanian painter and sculptor.

In that same year he made his debut at the Salonul Official de Pictura at Sala Dalles in Bucharest.

This encounter with abstract art led to his first truly original paintings, such as Starry Night,[3] which consists of a geometric arrangement of white dots.

His works of the early 1960s, executed in oil on a polyester base, are in a gestural, impasto style close to Tachism, as in Constellation.

His fascination with the monumental continued in The Hill,[7] constructed for the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York from styrofoam covered with tiny paper spheres and then painted yellow.
