Jan Zrzavý - Obrazy do kapsy / Pocket Paintings

This book dedicated to Jan Zrzavý will give you a glimpse into the imagination of an artist whose paintings are filled with both modernity and admiration for old cultures, as well as passion and melancholy. Zrzavý received great recognition already during his lifetime. He liked to play with stylising his image - and not only in his self-portraits. He learned from old masters and modern artists such as Jan Preisler and Bohumil Kubišta. He admired the work of Leonardo da Vinci, whose paintings he often paraphrased. Jan Zrzavý bequeathed his extensive oeuvre, including his own art collection, to the National Gallery. The number of pages and artworks in this book is limited, but a lot more may come to life in your mind.
