Cecilia Cuțescu-Storck

Cecilia Cuțescu-Storck (born 14 March 1879, Câineni, Vâlcea – d. 1969, Bucharest) was a Romanian painter with a strong influence on cultural life in the interwar period.

Cecilia Cuțescu was born in the village Râul Vadului, in the Câineni commune. She was adopted by her maternal grandparents, from which she has the name Cuțescu. She remained however very close to her parents, Natalia and Ion Brăneanu, and her sisters, Fulvia – who died in her teen years – and Ortansa – who became an important feminist activist in Romania.

In June 2010, from the initiative of the rector of the Economic Studies Academy of Bucharest, Gheorghe Roșca, and of the mayor of Câineni, Ion Nicolae, a commemorative plaque was placed in the village Râul Vadului.

The Frederic and Cecilia Cuțescu-Storck Art Museum is a modern art museum located in Bucharest, Romania, dedicated to the painter and her husband.
