In 1943 he debuted at the Official Salon of Decorative Arts, at the Romanian Athenaeum, obtaining the First Mention.
“Dragoș Morărescu relives with such pathos everything related to his visual culture, puts so much tenacity in the exercise of its processing, that he ends up acquiring a remarkable stylistic autonomy…”
(Andrei Pleșu – Literary Romania, 1973)
“Dragoș Morărescu, encyclopedist spirit who is such a free man that he allows himself to remake the history of art with every work”. (Vladimir Bulat)
“In a dynamic cultural landscape, such as the current Romanian one, I understand how high the stakes are in rereading from a contemporary perspective an artist born a century ago, with a prolific and so diverse body of work (painter, graphic artist, muralist, engraver, sculptor , architect, poet) and whose physical existence has ended for almost two decades.” (Cătălin Davidescu, 2023)
