Tașcu Gheorghiu dating history

Details

Tașcu Gheorghiu (29 September 1910 – 17 October 1981) was a Romanian writer and visual artist. The scion of an Aromanian-and-Greek family from Constanța, he had a secluded childhood and adolescence—practicing bohemianism and decadent art upon discovering Mateiu Caragiale as his lifelong literary inspiration. He integrated for a while with the Romanian avant-garde scene, publishing the short-lived magazine Liceu, where his colleagues included Virgil Teodorescu. Gheorghiu's accomplished short prose, heavily inspired by Urmuz, announced him as a major talent, but he quit literature abruptly within months of his debut; he stuck to Teodorescu's surrealist group in Bucharest, but only as an animator and illustrator, and, like some of the surrealists, also adopted leftist stances and collaborated with the outlawed Romanian Communist Party. Though improvident and hampered by his lifestyle choices, he eventually obtained a philosophy degree from the University of Bucharest.
