Florica Cordescu


Florica Cordescu Jebeleanu was a Romanian illustrator and painter  (born 10 May 1913, Constanta  - died 28 April 1965, Sinaia). She was Eugen Jebeleanu's wife, a famous Romanian poet. Florica Cordescu begun her artistic career at  age  20 and was the pupil of J. A. Steriadi. Between 1933 - 1934 she attented the Academie de la Grande Chaumiere and The Scandinavian Academy.

Her twin sister Marcela Cordescu was an important Romanian illustrator with strong  surrealist  connotations. The twins were remarkable for both their outstanding talent and the chemistry they  exercised  on their fellow artists.

Florica Cordescu has never done what one might call  pure illustration, although she  mainly devoted herself to illustrated books, she  was not a stong oponent in this domain. Boasting a spiritual background of deep lyricism she  concentrated her attention on poets like Mihai Eminescu, Petofy Sandor, Ady Endre, Eugen Jebeleanu  or  writers like Zaharia Stancu.

Between 1933 - 1943 she had exhibited constantly at the official salons.  She was present in many international exhibitions: 1953 - Sofia, 1955 Warsaw, 1956 - Wien, 1960 - Paris, Romainville, Lugano, 1961 - Moscow, 1962 Havana, 1964 - Athens.

She had personal exhibitions in 1937, 1948, 1958, 1961 - Bucharest, 1959 - Budapest, 1960 - Moscow, Zagorsk and Leningrad.
