Romanian traditional art - Romanian pottery

"The Romanians have preserved their national being and their specific civilization and they evolved their own highly original tradition, an
ancient tradition, coming down from the Neolithic, developed by the Dacians and then enriched by the Greco-Roman world and the Byzantine one.


Outstanding artworks with an archaic decoration featuring anthropomorphic, zoomorphic (the snake, the horse, the bird) and vegetal elements (the wheat ear, the fir tree, the tree of life) or else geometrical elements that once had sacred meanings related to fecundity and fertility rites.
In Romania pottery has a millennial tradition, the museums boasting most valuable items dating back to the Neolithic. Evidence are the two anthropomorphic statuettes unearthed at Cernavoda and considered masterpieces, the Thinker and his spouse, as well as the famous Cucuteni painted earthenware. In 40 of the onetime 300 earthenware centers, potters still use traditional techniques to craft glazed or unglazed, red or black ware, decorated with sgraffito or with applied colors, usually red, black, brown, yellow, green and white.

It is superb by its simplicity, natural pigments and very ancient, cosmogonic style of decoration (spirals, concentric circles, wavey patterns) steeped in traditions of previous millenia . "

Multumesc , l-am facut inca din februarie dar fiindca nu mi s-a parut complet ,nu l-am postat . Ar fi atatea de spus , as fi vrut sa fac o paralela si intre motivele stravechi si cele actuale folosite de romani in decorarea ceramicii ,a sculpturii in lemn , a costumului popular si textilelor traditionale. Poate altadata sau poate face altcineva. Avem atate de aratat lumii , avem atatea de spus ...

Herodot il considera cel mai numeros popor dupa inzi ;Lundius parintele principiilor de drept european ,le-a luat de la Zal-moxis ,iar la Tartaria se scria cu 1000 de ani inainte de Sumer sa nu mai vorbim ca istoriografii americani plaseaza cea mai veche si mare civilizatie in zona Romaniei si Bulgariei de azi( si limitrofe).

Suntem recunoscuti pe plan international-urmeaza sa mai fim recunoscuti si pe plan local...:(((

Foarte frumos clip! Noi românii avem cu ce ne mandri! Ne putem mandri cu frumoasa limba Romana, veche de cateva milenii, ne putem mandri cu istoria noastra multimilenara, si ne mai putem mandri cu aceasta superba cultura, pastrata cu sfintenie de taranul roman.
