Valalahia, pământ al nimănui
populat cu legume apoase
suferă de-o veșnică pântecărie
și e singură și stă în cruciș

El nu știa pe ce lume se află
construia un paradis serios
și rușii îl îmbătau turtă,
permanent.
Here’s a thoughtful curatorial note on the drawing “Don Juan” by L. Neagoe, grounded in the visual description you provided and written in a museum‑ready tone.
Curatorial Note: Don Juan by L. Neagoe
The male figure, presumably Don Juan himself, is depicted with a stern, introspective expression. His sharply defined features and furrowed brow evoke a man caught between seduction and self‑scrutiny, a charismatic persona layered over an unsettled interior. Opposite him, the female figure appears more fluid and ethereal, her elongated form and raised hands suggesting vulnerability, allure, or perhaps resistance. Her body dissolves into abstraction, reinforcing the idea that she represents not a specific individual but the many women who populate the Don Juan myth—figures often idealized, misunderstood, or consumed by his legend.
Neagoe’s selective use of color—blue for the eyes, red for the lips—heightens the emotional charge of the work. These accents draw attention to the points of connection and confrontation: the gaze and the voice, the seen and the spoken, the invitation and the refusal. The simplicity of the linework belies the complexity of the dynamic it captures.
In Don Juan, Neagoe reframes a familiar literary figure through a contemporary, minimalist lens. The result is a portrait not of romantic conquest but of the psychological and emotional asymmetries that define human desire. The drawing invites viewers to reconsider Don Juan not as a triumphant seducer but as a figure suspended in the uneasy space between longing, power, and consequence.
Here are two polished pieces of museum‑ready writing for L. Neagoe’s Don Juan—a concise wall label and a more expansive exhibition catalogue entry. They complement each other without repeating the same language.

Don Juan
Ink and selective color on paper
In this minimalist interpretation of the Don Juan myth, Neagoe reduces the drama of seduction to two distilled figures: a stern, self‑contained man and a fluid, emotionally charged woman. With only a few deliberate lines and accents of color, the artist captures the tension between desire, power, and vulnerability. The drawing invites viewers to reconsider the legendary seducer not through narrative action but through psychological presence.
Exhibition Catalogue Entry
Opposite him, the female figure appears more fluid and abstract, her form dissolving into sweeping lines that evoke movement, uncertainty, or even erasure. Her raised hands introduce a note of psychological ambiguity: are they a gesture of allure, hesitation, or resistance? Neagoe’s decision to render her body as an elongated, tapering shape underscores the way women in the Don Juan tradition are often idealized, generalized, or reduced to symbolic roles.
The selective use of color—blue for the eyes, red for the lips—heightens the emotional stakes of the encounter. These accents draw attention to the points where identity is most vividly expressed: the gaze and the voice. In a composition otherwise defined by restraint, these touches of color become sites of intensity and confrontation.
By stripping the scene to its essentials, Don Juan shifts the focus from seduction as spectacle to seduction as psychological interplay. Neagoe’s drawing invites viewers to reflect on the dynamics of desire, the asymmetries of power, and the enduring cultural fascination with the figure of Don Juan. The work stands as both a homage to and a critique of the myth, revealing its emotional complexity through the simplest of means.

Târtanii și țiganii plesnind de
sătui
cu ființa lor spiralată de otravă
s-au bășit peste flacăra mică a
acestei
țări bolnave și flacăra s-a
stins,
înțelesu-i i s-a otrăvit și
țara putrezește
ca o frunză bolnavă de rugină
și târtanii și țiganii, fiare
turbate
numără hârtii, se-adună în
cârduri
unde-i gunoiul mai des și putregaiul
mai brun și pavilionul de carne
sângerândă mai fanatic.
