About
“I am happy that I can leave behind memories related to my work as a teacher, as a supporter of the cultural life of Tulcea and especially as a creative one. My drawings, lithographs and watercolors, the result of more than five decades of work, constitute the gift I leave, out of love, respect and gratitude to the places and people of Tulcea, among whom I lived with my loved ones.” wrote the artist Constantin Găvenea in his autobiography, published in 1988 and entitled “Days Lived with Moments of Sadness”.
The building that today houses the “Constantin Găvenea” Memorial House was built in the first decades of the 20th century. The Tulcea artist lived in this house since the fall of 1942, following his detachment from the town of Sarichioi, settling in the city of Tulcea with his family.
The house, restored by the Tulcea City Hall, contains five exhibition halls (a hall and four rooms), as well as the master's workshop in the courtyard of the house. Personal objects, manuscripts, books and albums with dedications, photographs, original documents and photocopies are exhibited, all closely related to the life and work of Constantin Găvenea. There are also lithographs, paintings and watercolors executed by the artist in all stages of his creation.
The establishment of the Constantin Găvenea Memorial House is considered a tribute to the Great Man, as an example worthy of imitation, a symbolic character of this North-Dobrudzian land that we can be proud of in front of the whole of Europe.
