Oscar Han
Oscar Han (1891, Bucharest - 1976, Bucharest) was a Romanian sculptor and writer. A student of Dimitrie Paciurea at the Academy of Arts in Bucharest, he was a member of the Group of Four together with painters Nicolae Tonitza, Francisc Şirato and Ştefan Dimitrescu. His works were exhibited mainly in Bucharest, but also at Romanian art exhibitions and international exhibitions in other European cities, such as Venice, Anvers, Paris, the Hague, Amsterdam, Barcelona. He wrote a monograph on Paciurea and a large number of chronicles and articles (collected in 1970 in the volume Chisels and Brushes). In carving portraits of personalities, the sculptor was deeply concerned with revealing the physical and moral features of his characters. When realizing monumental works of art his main interest went at once to the gesture rhetoric and the volumes grandeur and to the demanding palpability of the modeled figures. He was Honored Master of Arts.
The Triumphal Arch
Arcul de Triumf is a triumphal arch located in the northern part of Bucharest, on the Kiseleff Road. The Triumphal Arch in Bucharest is a little smaller than the one in Paris, but it is also located at the intersection of some boulevards.
The first, wooden, triumphal arch was built hurriedly, after Romania gained its independence (1878), so that the victorious troops could march under it. Another temporary arch was built on the same site, in 1922, after World War I, which was demolished in 1935 to make way for the current triumphal arch, which was inaugurated in September 1936.
The current arch has a height of 27 meters and was built after the plans of the great architect Petre Antonescu. It has as foundation a 25 x 11.50 meters rectangle and was built in granite and concrete, and has a staircase that allows visitors to climb to the terrace on the top of the monument. The sculptures with which the facades are decorated were created by famous Romanian sculptors such as Ion Jalea, Corneliu Medrea, Dimitrie Paciurea, Constantin Baraschi, Costin Petrescu.
