62. Black on White Counterpoint [1985]

Roman Cotoșman established himself on the artistic scene in the 1960s, when, following his friendship with Ștefan Bertalan and Constantin Flondor, the first experimental group in Romania, the 111 Group (1966-1969), was born. The year 1968 brings with it two significant events for Roman. Firstly, he makes his first kinetic work, Quaternar I, at Dermatina Factory in Timișoara. Secondly, he participates together with his group colleagues and also with Molnar Zoltan and Diet Sayler in the first constructivist art exhibition in Romania, the Kalinderu exhibition. Roman Cotoșman was one of the few artists who was aware not merely of Romania's political isolation, but also of its cultural and artistic seclusion, attempting, with his art, to achieve a synchronization with the main Western-European artistic trends of the time. Supported by the critic Eugen Schileru, the Kalinderu exhibition is distinguished at national level, so that the members of group 111 will be chosen to represent Romania at the Constructivist Biennale in Nürnberg in 1969. In the context of the motivated international trip, Roman Cotoșman, one of the first representatives of the minimalist movement in Romanian art, chose the path of exile, refusing to return to his country and settling in the USA. In mid 1960s, Romanian art was barely braking away from socialist realism and opted for "stylistic diversity". Thus, geometrisms of all kinds (from the totemic to the informal, from the abstract to neoconstructivism) became the most visible vector of aesthetic innovation.
