Gheorghe Vida worked as a senior researcher at the “George Oprescu” Art History Institute in Bucharest since 1970. He was a member of the editorial board of the journals “Revue Roumaine d’Histoire de l’Art”, “SCIA” and of the magazine “Artelier”. He has published numerous articles, studies and books about Romanian modern art, including monographs on Nina Arbore and Géza Kádár, as well as studies about Hans Mattis Teutsch, Octav Grigorescu or the Romanian contemporary sculpture. His essays were published in exhibition catalogues (such as “The Colours of the Avant-garde. Art in Romania 1910-1950”, Brukenthal Museum, Sibiu, 2007, itinerated to Lisbon and Prague) and in various journals and magazines like “Ligeia”, “Academica” or “Apostrof”. Vida wrote texts about the Romanian art critics and art historians Remus Niculescu, Andrei Pintilie and Mihai Drişcu and was one of the first authors who researched the art of Ştefan Bertalan and the Sigma group. He was associate professor at the National University of Arts in Bucharest from 1995 to 1998.
