DESCRIPTION:\nThe exhibition\, drawn from the Archives of the Roman-Catholi
 c Archdiocese\, features two hundred drawings\, etchings and objects donat
 ed by private collectors after 2010\; together they shed light on the pers
 onality and interests of Vladimir Ghika\, a Roman Catholic priest who died
  in prison during the early years of the Communist regime. Most of the dra
 wings were conceived in the aftermath of World War One to illustrate books
  written by him - La Visite des pauvres and Les Intermèdes de Talloires. A
 lthough the two books were published without the respective illustrations\
 , the drawings reveal Ghika’s interest in both using visual means to persu
 ade readers of the importance of practicing Christian virtues in everyday 
 life and in the visual relationship between text and image\, in the design
  of a book page.\nThe exhibition also includes etchings made after the ori
 ginal drawings for Les Intermèdes de Talloires which were published separa
 tely as a bibliophile edition by Victor Jacquemin in Paris in 1923. Other 
 drawings\, labelled by their author as “decorative phantasies”\, capital l
 etter designs\, ex-libris\, stamp sketches\, kirigami–like paper cuts\, et
 c. are illustrative of Ghika’s willingness to practice some of the skills 
 he had acquired as a young man. They reveal a passion for detail and symme
 try\, for giving religious sentiments a visual expression.\nA priest turne
 d martyr of his faith by the Communists\, Vladimir Ghika (1873-1954) was t
 he son of Prince Ioan Ghika and Alexandrina\, neé Moret de Blaramberg. Aft
 er early (art) studies\, Ghika pursued scholarly academic studies in law\,
  philosophy\, and theology which he channeled into a life genuinely devote
 d to fellow human beings.\n13 June to 2 September 2018National Museum of A
