The best business card of the Bucharest center of artistic pedagogy is the series of important masters of national and universal art who received their first professional training at the School of Fine Arts founded in 1864 by Theodor Aman and Gheorghe Tăttărescu; we mention here, selectively, only Constantin Brâncuşi, Victor Brauner, Paul Neagu, Ioan Andreescu, Ştefan Luchian, Gheorghe Petrașcu, Sabin Popp, Aurel Jiquidi and Lucian Grigorescu. Among the graduates, some chose to devote themselves equally to a teaching career, such as George Demetrescu Mirea, Francisc Sirato, Jean Al. Steriadi, Camil Ressu, Corneliu Baba, Alexandru Ciucurencu, Karl Storck, Dimitrie Paciurea, Cornel Medrea, Oscar Han, Ion Jalea, Gabriel Popescu, Octav Grigorescu, Simion Iuca, Ion Bitzan, Cecilia Cutescu-Storck, Zoe Băicoianu and Mac (Mihai Filip ) Constantinescu; simultaneously, in the sphere of art history, aesthetics and art critics activated personalities such as Alexandru Tzigara Samurcas, Eugen Schileru, Ion Frunzetti and Vasile Drăguţ.

As the only Bucharest institution of higher education in the field of visual arts, with a good national reputation, the National University of Arts in Bucharest ensures adequate training for future practitioners and theoreticians, the essential premise of the education offered being the connection to the requirements of the current Romanian society, such as and synchronizing with significant artistic trends and currents of universal contemporary art. This availability for renewal takes into account the tradition of local artistic education, characterized, however, from the beginning, by a European openness.
