Anghel, Gheorghe
(b Turnu Severin, 22 Aug 1904; d Bucharest, 7 April 1966). Romanian sculptor. He studied in 1923 with Dimitrie Paciurea at the Fine Arts School in Bucharest. Between 1924 and 1937 he lived in Paris, where he studied with Antoine Injalbert at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, and for a short time frequented the studio of Brancusi, to whose work he was not sympathetic, however. To support himself Anghel worked in the studio in Paris of the Romanian architect Alexandru Delanof. He exhibited at the Paris Salon (1929, 1932, 1935) and at the Salon des Indépendants. In 1935 he had a one-man exhibition of terracotta sculpture. The only known portraits from this period are that of the actor Jean Yonell (1929; Paris, Mus. Comédie-Fr.) and a Head of a Child (Paris, Jean Delanof priv. col.).
