The iglooart collection was introduced in the fall of 2007, with the release of the album Raul Egon Lebel. A Century of Colour. This first album celebrates the re-entry in the Romanian art circuit of an artist whose work was censored during the communist era. His paintings were rediscovered by Adrian Buga, a devoted art collector.

Raul Egon Lebel. A Century of Colour

The first album in the igloo art series is the result of the retrospective exhibition dedicated to Raul Egon Lebel at the Sutu Palace, in October 2007, which brought the painter's work once again in the attention of the Romanian art world. His paintings reveal a mature artist, who dared to go further than his era's conventions, who showed a special interest for elements of artistic theory and an outstanding sense of colour. The vibrant chromatics of his paintings, the careful structuring of the compositions - which, during the last years of his life, was built on strict mathematical principles of colour display - the geometrical dynamism and the energy transmitted by his works persuaded contemporary art critics to acknowledge his real value and let him take up his proper place in the context of Romanian culture.
