 Romanian 'Maori' Huts   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Marie was to become one of the most glamorous, unconventional and charismatic royal consorts of the early twentieth century, playing a much publicised role in the creation of Greater Romania after the First World War and acting as a lively promoter of Romanian art and culture.
Marie seems to have understood this: in her lively rejection of academic historicism she established herself as a champion of new directions in the country’s fledgling art scene, promoting the applied arts and helping to allay King Carol’s suspicion of progressive artistic societies such as Tinerimea artisticà (Artistic Youth) of which she was patron.
Marie’s flawed appropriation of a symbol of the Maori cosmos can be read as a microcosm of her own artistic cosmos, embodying the elements of romance, otherworldly escapism and pagan mysticism with which she infused her living environment during her years as Crown Princess.
