METAL AS A LAUNCHING TRACK FOR PLASTIC ARTISTS LUDMILA ODAINIC AND LIDIA CEBAN-BOICO

Abstract

Exhibition catalogs insert over time valuable information about artists and their creations that, being confronted with the data from the personal files of the plastic artists kept in the archives, come to elucidate new aspects of the artistic phenomenon. From the documents found, we infer that in the first post-war decades, the most requested metal pieces in which local artists excelled were wafers and decorative reliefs. In this Article, based on the archive files investigated, we set out to highlight and introduce in the scientific circuit unknown pieces of two established artists – Ludmila Odinic and Lidia Ceban-Boico, who until fully manifested in applied decorative art, namely in tapestry and prints, they experimented in the technique of artistic metalworking, considered a prerogative of men.
