Welcome on Dragan Djordjevic personal web page!
Settle up
When in 1991 Dragan Djordjevic arrives in Romania and settles here coming from Suisse here he had practiced the art of commerce near a bank as well as the art of the commercial exchange of values and shares, he is drawn by the perspective of the neighborhood of the streets Selari and Covaci, by the commercial fever and by the second hand book shops from this neighborhood. He decided quickly and he opened an art gallery on Covaci Street. In the beginning it seemed an adventure. The notion of art had been a way of living for him until he settled in Bucharest.
Begining
The first works bought and exposed in the gallery are modest, even insignificant, coins, porcelain objects, engravings and insignificant paintings. After a year he discovers the valuable Romanian painting. He falls in love with the painters Th. Aman and Th. Pallady. Then the look, the interest and the acquisitions are directed towards Th. Pallady and N. Tonitza. He is strongly drawn by the artists that belonged to the vanguard movement.
Orientation
His orientation was driven in two directions, towards the painters who shined between the two world wars, Pallady, Iser, Tonitza, Baba, starting to buy for the personal collection and modern, contemporary or vanguard painters, especially between those who in the 21 sl century started to consolidate their success and value and manifest the quality of being innovators. He doesn’t like yet the abstract art made by some artists spontaneously and with the desire of persuading that they are “modern”.
He is happy!!! God gave him this gift of discovering beautiful things.
