Jean-Honoré Fragonard was a French painter and printmaker whose late Rococo manner was distinguished by remarkable facility, exuberance, and hedonism. One of the most prolific artists active in the last decades of the Ancien Régime, Fragonard produced more than 550 paintings, of which only five are dated. Among his most popular works are genre paintings conveying an atmosphere of intimacy and veiled eroticism.

We herewith declare that in the month of November 2002 we arranged in our gallery an exposition of the tapestries made by Mrs. Elena Zidaru of Piatra Neamt.

Lucian Strochi

Director at Neamt Conty Culture Directorate - Neamt, ROMANIA

Mrs. Elena Zidaru art works, realised in Gobelin tapestry, are impressive through flawless execution, careful choice of subjects (mostly French impressionists: Renoir, Rodin, English landscape artists: Turner, Constable, Dutch and Japanese scenery reminding of Hocusai Utamaro, Hiroshige). There is a lot of romanticism and lyricism in Mrs. Elena Zidaru's Gobelin tapestry, but these "jewels" show a lot of lucidity too.

Art critic - Iasi, ROMANIA

Subliniez doar din nevoie estetica aceasta capacitate de a vizualiza si de a transfigura in materie textila niste visuri, niste dimensiuni ale plenitudii omului, cel care a descoperit frumusetea atat in afara lui cat si in propria lui fiinta. Doamna Elena Zidaru are o cultura plastica cu totul remarcabila este interesata indeosebi de valorile renasterii pe care le transfigureaza in dimensiunea textila in goblen o arta extrem de minutioasa care presupune ora in sir ca sa poti rezolva un centimetru.

Excellent! I think that your work with all your fabric of colors is much more difficult than what i do with oil paints and brushes. You are a very talented artist. Dear Elena it's difficult to tell a master what next to do. Just follow your feelings!
