A photograph of the Romanian writer Marius Daniel Popescu has been published in the French daily newspaper Le Monde (December 21, 2025).


The french publishing house Corti released in september 2025 his last novel, Le cri du barbeau.


The photograph was taken in Saint-Nazaire (France) in 2009 during the MEET festival (Maison des Écrivains Étrangers et Traducteurs).










"L’écriture de Marius Daniel Popescu est d’une générosité assez inouïe. Le Cri du barbeau vient clôturer, après La Symphonie du loup et Les Couleurs de l’hirondelle (Corti, 2007 et 2012), une trilogie sur les mots. Or, les mots, c’est assez rare pour le souligner, l’écrivain ne les accapare pas."

The Swedish museum Bror Hjorths Hus will present in its summer exhibition around 45 painting and graphics of the Swedish artist Greta Gerell (1898-1982).




Timeless objects, stylised figures and impressionistic street scenes.


This summer's exhibition in Bror Hjorths Hus presents an artist contemporary with Bror Hjorth.


Greta Gerell (1898-1982) devoted her entire life to art. She painted impressionist street scenes, people and stylised figures and later pictures that she called Timeless Things.

Greta Gerell's work is highly diverse, but her imagery is held together by a strong inner consistency. She constantly searched for something animate behind the surface of things.

Her long and productive life covers a large part of the 20th century, and her pictures show the different environments that surrounded her, from Paris and the Mediterranean countries to Stockholm and its archipelago.
