In addition to his literary and political activities, Alexandru Bogdan-Pitești was himself a painter and graphic artist. Much of Bogdan-Pitești's controversial political career, inaugurated by his support for <a href="/wiki/Anarchism" title="Anarchism">anarchism</a>, was dedicated to activism and support for revolution. He also had an interest in the <a href="/wiki/Occult" title="Occult">occult</a>, and maintained close contacts with <a href="/wiki/Jos%C3%A9phin_P%C3%A9ladan" title="Joséphin Péladan">Joséphin "Sâr" Péladan</a>—sponsoring Péladan's journey to <a href="/wiki/Bucharest" title="Bucharest">Bucharest</a> (1898).

Reputedly, the occupation forces picked up Bogdan-Pitești from his cell at Văcărești, where he was still serving time.<a href="#cite_note-abrud114-107">[107]</a> Like Arghezi, Macedonski, Galaction and Mateiu Caragiale, he remained in German-occupied territory.

In 1912, Macedonski published an autobiographical Christmas story. It tells how, inspired by Macedonski's desire to feed his family a traditional turkey feast, Bogdan-Pitești sent him the bird stuffed with 50 gold <a href="/wiki/Romanian_leu" title="Romanian leu">lei</a>.<a href="#cite_note-Tudor_Vianu,_p.370-1">[1]</a><a href="#cite_note-zamba-4">[4]</a> As T. Vianu writes, such "attitudes of a grand feudal lord" made Bogdan-Pitești into an "indisputably picturesque" person.<a href="#cite_note-Tudor_Vianu,_p.370-1">[1]</a> The account was partly confirmed by Constantin Beldie, who also noted that, during those years, Alexandru Macedonski was "starving" and had to provide for "a house full of children".<a href="#cite_note-Cernat,_p.45-114">[114]</a> Zambaccian however cites a contrasting story once told by actor Ion Iancovescu. It suggests that, during the wartime famine, Macedonski asked Bogdan-Pitești to pay him 1 million lei for one of the few surviving copies of Bronzes; Bogdan-Pitești bluntly offered him 5 lei—Macedonski gave in, commenting that "he is capable of changing his mind, that con artist!"<a href="#cite_note-zamba-4">[4]</a> Bogdan-Pitești's mood swings were also discussed by memoirist <a href="/wiki/Radu_D._Rosetti" title="Radu D. Rosetti">Radu D. Rosetti</a>. He writes that the boyar scarcely minded when his fortune was being siphoned away by some members of his retinue, but that he publicly humiliated Galaction, and even Domnica, over random expenses.<a href="#cite_note-svalintari-60">[60]</a> The relationship between Mateiu Caragiale and his one-time patron has attracted special interest from period historians. Early on, the aspiring poet wrote a special piece in honor of his senior friend—called Dregătorul ("The Mandarin"), it is included in one of Bogdan-Pitești's albums.<a href="#cite_note-Teacă,_p.58-78">[78]</a> That accord degenerated during the late 1910s, to the point where Caragiale, whose diary spoke of Bogdan-Pitești's homosexuality in dismissive terms (calling him "a blusterer of the anti-natural vice"), laid out a plan to loot the Știrbey-Vodă Street villa.<a href="#cite_note-123">[123]</a> According to the same author, Bogdan-Pitești turned to passive homosexuality because he was impotent.<a href="#cite_note-124">[124]</a> Caragiale's diary also sketched a portrait of Domnica Bogdan, questioning her morality in harsh terms.<a href="#cite_note-aonarco5-76">[76]</a><a href="#cite_note-125">[125]</a> Bogdan-Pitești's other relationships with his other protégés could also fluctuate between extremes. According to an anecdote of the time, he advanced Luchian a large sum of money, which the painter used for a trip to <a href="/wiki/Sinaia" title="Sinaia">Sinaia</a>. Luchian then upset Bogdan-Pitești by not inviting him over, and was punished with a telegram addressed "To the ugliest tourist in Sinaia" (a pun on Luchian's proverbial bad looks).<a href="#cite_note-126">[126]</a> In the mid-1910s, Luchian had been incapacitated by <a href="/wiki/Multiple_sclerosis" title="Multiple sclerosis">multiple sclerosis</a>. Bogdan-Pitești was one of the last to visit him before his death in June 1916, recording for posterity Luchian's resigned remark: "I'm going away".<a href="#cite_note-127">[127]</a> The main first-hand account of Bogdan-Pitești's 1919 imprisonment comes from <a href="/wiki/Ioan_Slavici" title="Ioan Slavici">Ioan Slavici</a>'s Închisorile mele ("My Prisons"). According to Slavici, the art patron had a luxury cell with a view over Bucharest.<a href="#cite_note-Boia,_p.342-112">[112]</a> <a href="/wiki/Alexandru_Rosetti" title="Alexandru Rosetti">Alexandru Rosetti</a>, citing Arghezi, records one of Bogdan-Pitești's witticisms on the issue of prison life. When a <a href="/wiki/Jandarmeria_Rom%C3%A2n%C4%83" class="mw-redirect" title="Jandarmeria Română">Gendarme</a> wrongly attempted to push him into Arghezi's line of suspected traitors, Bogdan-Pitești snapped: Pardon, eu sunt escroc! ("Pardon me, [but] I'm a con artist!").<a href="#cite_note-rosettiargh-70">[70]</a> Zambaccian writes that, during the first of his legal battles with <a href="/wiki/Take_Ionescu" title="Take Ionescu">Take Ionescu</a>, Bogdan-Pitești commented on Ionescu's deposition: "He sure is talented, that crook!"<a href="#cite_note-zamba-4">[4]</a> The pro-Entente nationalist <a href="/wiki/Octavian_Goga" title="Octavian Goga">Octavian Goga</a> was especially upset by Alexandru Bogdan-Pitești's stances, and, in his record of 1916 events (including the Ionescu trial), wrote him off as a "bandit" fed with "German money".<a href="#cite_note-goga-108">[108]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Fictional_character">Fictional character</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Alexandru_Bogdan-Pite%C8%99ti&action=edit&section=14" title="Edit section: Fictional character">edit</a>]</div> After the World War, according to Beldie, actor Iancovescu introduced impressions of Bogdan-Pitești to his cabaret routine. It showed the convicted Garmanophile and an unnamed German official, who looked into the mislanding of propaganda funds on supporting petty "henchmen". To this charge, the fictional Bogdan-Pitești replies: "I have consumed your money, this much is true, but I did not pull one on you! For how is it that you could imagine me, a traitor of my country, not also being a con artist?"<a href="#cite_note-Cernat,_p.45-114">[114]</a> According to Beldie, the account has a grain of truth: instead of using money to revive the Germanophile cause, Bogdan-Pitești directed them into his art collection.<a href="#cite_note-Cernat,_p.45-114">[114]</a> A somewhat similar version of this urban legend is included in the memoirs of a National Liberal adversary, <a href="/wiki/I._G._Duca" class="mw-redirect" title="I.
