Roni Noel

[Florin Noël]

20 noiembrie 1912, Vaslui – 1984
 

Education: The Academy of Fine Arts, Bucharest (1935),  Camil Ressu  professor's class. Head of works at the Institute of Fine Arts "Nicolae Grigorescu", Bucharest (1950-1956).

Active during the disrupted years of the communism establishment, Roni Noël was part of the phalanx of artists dedicated to the new ideas of ideological propaganda, publishing illustrations in most newspapers and magazines of the time, posters with official thematic, drawings and engravings exposing political literacy.
 

He approached book illustration casually - "Nicoară Horseshoe" by Sadoveanu, "Anna Karenina" by Tolstoy, "Les Miserables" by Victor Hugo - and  classical literature for children (Ion Creanga, Sadoveanu) or  historic themes (Dumitru Almaş, Alexandru Mitru), but perhaps his most slender book, aesthetically speaking, remains « Doi feţi cu stea în frunte »  by Ioan Slavici, elaborated in the last years of his life.

In 1955 he received the State Prize and Silver Medal at the International Exhibition of Book in Leipzig.
