Jan Preisler (1872 - 1918) PORTRAIT OF A GIRL

Preisler was one of the founders of modern Czech art. Influenced mainly by Impressionism and Art Nouveau Symbolism, he created his distinctive style. The feelings of modern man, uprootedness, the desire to merge with nature, nostalgia and expectations became typical themes in his work, and he depicted poetic metaphors of human life at that time. Even relatively ordinary portraits show considerable psychologization. Framed under anti-reflective glass with UV filter.
