Savu Petra Dan (born 1903 in Bucharest , died March 16, 1986 in Frankfurt am Main ) was a Romanian-Israeli painter.
Savu Petra Dan studied from Bucharest between 1926 and 1933 at the Kunsthochschule . He had an order as a court painter at Carol II. During the Second World War he was imprisoned in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp during the Holocaust from 1942 to 1945. In 1946 he was awarded a prize from the Romanian Ministry of Culture.
He was able to sell pictures to the Bucharest National Museum . His state-owned paintings were also shown after 1945 and divided into different outposts of the National Museum. After 1958 they disappeared in depots and have been lost since the 1990s.
Dan emigrated 1961 for political reasons with great difficulties with his wife Thereza (1913-1976) to Israel . He had his first exhibition there in Netania . Dan was a productive painter and sold his pictures abroad. Dan moved to the Federal Republic of Germany in 1974 and lived in Frankfurt am Main since 1978.
Dan initially painted expressively, but also surreal in later works. He raised the issue of concentration in the concentration camp.
Some years later he was engaged by King Carol II of Romania as his court painter and was awarded with the prize of state of the Ministry of Education and Cultural Affairs of Romania. In 1961 he emigrated to Israel and in 1974 he moved to Germany where he died in 1986 (Frankfurt am Main).
Savu Petra Dan preferred oil-on-canvas paintings which were expressive in his early years, later they bekame more abstract and even surrealist. He also created portraits and compositions of landscapes but many of his works testify to deep sufferings and feelings, to the human struggle of life and death.
Due to his own very traumatic experiences during the Second World War in the concentration camp Bergen-Belsen Savu Petra Dan created a series of impressionistic paintings titled f. e. “behind the barbed wire”, “please, don’t crucify me anymore”, “survivors of the concentration camp”, “mass grave” and “dictator”. These large scale oil-on-canvas paintings are his very personal witnesses of the Holocoust.
Dan was well-known in several countries. He sold more than 1.000 paintings f. e. to the USA, Canada, Brazil, Argentina and South Africa. His paintings were exhibitioned in many galleries and art museums, such as the Helena Rubinstein Museum in Tel Aviv, Artist Festival and Exhib. Gardens. Famous Israeli people and Minister came to his exhibitions. TV, radio and newspapers often reported on him. Some exhibitions he had together with his wife, Tereza Dan, who was a painter as well. One of the greatest Israeli art critic wrote about Dan's works that these pictures are of more artistic worth than those of the famous painters Eugene Delacroix and Theodore Gericault whose paintings are exhibitioned in the Louvre-Museum in Paris. In Germany Savu Petra Dan is listed in the famous painters encyclopaedia of the German publishing house “Saur” (Allgemeines Künstlerlexikon).

- Impressionist Painting of a Bohemian Woman Budapest 1925 Bertha De HellebranthLocated in Rochester, NYBohemian woman Budapest, Hungary 1925 by Bertha De Hellebranth. Fabulous period painting brings to life the bohemian intelligentsia of Europe in the 1920's. I believe the painting is of the artists sister Elena Maria De Hellebranth. Both sisters were accomplished artist and worked and exhibited together. See the photo of the sisters Elena on the left and Bertha on the right. Oil on canvas. In a period frame. Signed lower right. Inscribed on reverse. Provenance: label from Newman Galleries Philadelphia. BIOGRAPHY ; Bertha de Hellebranth and her sister Elena were born into a cultured upper-class family in Budapest, Bertha in 1899, Elena in 1897. Their father was a lawyer and their mother a student of Franz Liszt's last living pupil. Both sisters showed artistic potential early, beginning to paint at four or five years of age. Their parents encouraged them, and had the means to send them to the best art schools of the time. They studied at the Academy of Fine Art in Budapest, at the Académie Julian and the Académie de la Grande Chaumière in Paris, and painted portraits of European nobility. As Patricia Fazekas points out, "Growing up in a family of privilege, they seemed to have unusual access to many illustrious people." So we should not be surprised to find among their subjects members of high society, such as Count Andrássy Gyula, the Russian-born Princess Baby Galitzine, and Admiral Horthy Miklós, the Regent. Later on, their subjects included American heiress Gladys Vanderbilt (Countess László Széchenyi), President Theodore Roosevelt's granddaughter Paulina Longworth and former President Dwight D. Eisenhower.Often, the sisters would paint the same subject at the same time, offering the sitter a choice of portraits. Most often, the sitter wanted both renditions.While Elena concentrated on working in oil and watercolor, Bertha used gouache and oil to achieve her effects. Elena gave lectures and workshops, was a writer and also wrote popular and ecclesiastical music, while Bertha also went in for sculpture and handicrafts.From the mid-thirties until World War II, Bertha and Elena divided their time between their home in Budapest and a home on the ocean at Ventnor, NJ. In 1925, they showed their work at the Nemzeti Szalon in Budapest, and in 1926, they had a joint exhibition of their portraits in the US. Both exhibited their work at the Art Institute of Chicago, the Brooklyn Museum of Art, the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and most major museums and galleries in the US. Bertha also had exhibits at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Both Bertha and Elena were Fellows of the Royal Society of Art (London), and garnered numerous prizes. Bertha was awarded First Prize by the National Academy of the American Water Color Society one year, and the Grand Prize of the Audubon Society. She was one of the founders of the now defunct World League of Hungarian Artists Abroad (Külföldi Magyar Képz?m?vészek Világszövetsége), and received a Gold Medal from the Cleveland Árpád Akadémia in 1963. (Elena also received the Akadémia's gold medal in 1965.) Their work is found in museums and galleries too numerous to mention.The de Hellebranth sisters were devout Catholics, and this is evident in their many portraits of clerics...Category
