Jan Zrzavý (Czech, 1890 – 1977)

Fantastic landscape, 1913 -14

oil on canvas 

The most famous of Zrzavý´s pictures are not spontaneous, quite the other way around – their composition was prepared very thoroughly. He painted especially during the night. He did not need the light of day and his motif in front of him, he was not a realist painter but worked by heart and based on his sketches.

He drew on the symbolism of the beginning of the 20th century. He was always himself, totally different. After his avantgarde beginnings, he could be mostly ranked among the artists preferring neoclassicism, New Objectivity, magic realism, we could also talk about metaphysical painting.

The poetic quality of Zrzavý’s work, his illustrations for Erben’s Bouquet and Mácha’s May, his melancholy and minor sadness affected the sensitive souls of the Czech men and women for decades. He was a living legend when he was walking with his cane and beret on the castle staircase to his atelier in the house of the sculptor Hana Wichterlová. People would recognize him in the street and address him. During the last period of his life, he was considered a truly national artist.
