Dimitrie Paciurea (original) (raw)

Dimitrie Paciurea (November 23, 1873 - July 14, 1932) was a Romanian sculptor. His representational and symbolic style contrasts strongly to the more abstract style of his contemporary and co-national Constantin Brancuşi.

Native of Bucharest. Studied in Bucharest (1890-1894) and Paris (1896-1900). One of the founders of the Romanian Art Society (1919). A room of the Romanian National Art Museum is devoted largely to his Chimera sculptures.
