Cecilia Cuțescu-Storck (14 March 1879, in Câineni, Vâlcea – 29 October 1969, in Bucharest) was a Romanian painter with a strong influence on cultural life in the interwar period. She was a promoter of feminism, contributing to the establishment of the "Association of women painters and sculptors" (together with Olga Greceanu and Nina Arbore) and "Feminin artistic circle".

Biography

Cecilia Cuțescu was born in the village Râul Vadului, in the Câineni commune, Vâlcea County. 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.

She graduated from the Central School for Girls in Bucharest, and then continued her studies at Damenakademie, Munich, in 1897. In 1899 she leaves for Paris, taking classes at Académie Julian. Her paintings are introduced to the public through exhibitions held in France and Romania.
