In the 19th century, many German and Hungarian painters representing academism
settled down in Arad: J. Geltz, D. Jägermann, Emeric and Adalbert Vizkeleti, E. Szamossy, P. Böhm.
Famous Hungarian painters M. Munkácsy and L Paál also started their activity in Arad.
In the inter - war period, C. Wolf, I. Stern, C. Kiss and F. Balla continued to paint
in the academic style. I. Toader, C. Minisan, Al. Pataki and V. Anyos suceeded in surpassing
this barrier.
A new style started to influence the Arad fine art, due to sculptures R. Ladea,
Gh. Groza and M. Olnescu, who founded the "Pro Arte" group, in 1936.
The most important post war artists in Arad are: N. Chirilovici, S. Frentiu, F. Baranyai, E. Vitroel,
Lia and Ioan Cott, I. Tolan, St. Gules, E.S. Muntean, N. Bicfalvi, P. Alaszu, L. Babocsik, O. Colta,
L. Josan Kocsis, I. Kett Groza, A. Strasnei Popa, Z. Eisele Szücs, M. Tamas, D. Serban, I. Stroia,
