DescriptionMonumentul lui Eminescu aşa cum şi-l imaginează d. Tonitza.JPG |
English: Satirical drawing by the Romanian artist Nicolae Tonitza, criticizing bourgeois preferences in public art. Published alongside an Adevărul lampoon, where Tonitza mocks sculptor Ion Schmidt-Faur and the citizens of Iaşi City, who were designing a kitsch monument to poet Mihai Eminescu. Here, Tonitza presents his own, tongue-in-cheek, monument to the writer: a bronze linden tree, symbolic of where Eminescu "made love to his girlfriend, Veronica Micle"; a bench, where a "lonely and pensive" Eminescu awaits for Micle; a hollow, and an owl "with phosphorous eyes" that is symbolic of "philosophy"; crowning the tree, a giant eagle holding up the crest of Moldavia - "the nationalism of our great and unforgotten Eminescu took root in Moldavia and survives over centuries thanks to the Romanian eagle, that is to say the guiding principle of Romanianism". |
