About
"I am happy that I can leave behind me memories related to my work as a teacher, as a supporter of the cultural life of Tulce and especially the creative one. My drawings, lithographs and watercolors, resulting from more than five decades of work, are the gift I leave, out of love, respect and gratitude to the places and people of Tulcena, in the midst of which I lived with my loved ones from my family .” wrote 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 artist lived in this house from the fall of 1942, following his detachment from the town of Sarichioi, settling in the town of Tulcea with his family.
The house, restored by the Tulcea City Hall, contains five exhibition rooms (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. Lithographs, paintings and watercolors executed by the artist in all stages of his creation are also present.
The establishment of the Constantin Găvenea Memorial House is considered a tribute to the Great Man, as an example worthy of following, a symbolic figure of this Northern Dobrogean land that we can be proud of in front of the whole of Europe.
