Life

Hârtopeanu began his studies and work in Iași. He studied at the Iași Academy of Fine Arts, where he had Nicolae Tonitza as professor (1937). He later became a professor and dean at the Academy of Fine Arts.

After emigrating in 1970 from Romania, he lived in Frankfurt, West Germany. Hârtopeanu was married to Frida Klamer, a Medical Doctor, and had two daughters.

Art

Beginning in 1975, he was a member of the Association for Free and Applied Arts EV Darmstadt, for decades a fixed place in the Darmstadt art life. From 1950 he had numerous exhibitions at home and abroad.

His paintings are an expression of his intense search for the perfect effect of a particular composition. The painting of the natural or cultural landscape was light and airy, determined by the play of light on the nature. His work still life by a clever arrangement by koloristische allure and subtle lighting. The symbols in his still lifes are often flowers, the glorification of God in his works. Plants, often tree-lined avenues represent the four seasons and symbolize the annual flow.
