Ion Irimescu


At age 102, Irimescu is considered one of the great innovators in modern scuplture. He has lived lifelong in the northern Moldavian small town of Falticeni, which despite its small size, was home to numerous intellectuals during decades past.

A museum dedicated to him in Falticeni in 1975 contains several hundred of his sculptures and 1500 or more graphics pieces. For details see
