The exhibition showcases work from different periods, including paintings on cardboard and canvas as well as drawings by Adela Petrescu (b. 1927, d. 2019), a figurative artist. Still lives, landscapes, portraits and nudes are the themes she dealt with. Adela (Nicolau) Petrescu began drawing lessons in 1945-46 with her aunt, the sculptor Teodora Pop (wife of the painter Sabin Pop), in the studio of Cecillia Cuțescu Storck. At the same time, she attended the Faculty of Philology and the preparatory year of Fine Arts with Nicolae Dărăscu. Given the times in which the artist lived, her "unhealthy" origins* were the reason for the abrupt end of her studies at the Belle Arts. The fees charged to students from families considered wealthy were too high, so Adela Petrescu had to drop out. Near the end of her academic life, Adela, Nicolau at the time, marries the writer Radu Petrescu. They were teachers at Dipșa and at Prundul Bârgăului from 1951 to 1954. There she began to paint, studying Camilian Demetrescu's Treatise on Painting, Delacroix's and Van Gogh's letters, with little material, as she was not a member of The Artists Union and therefore did not have access to the materials she needed.
