Jiří Bradáček (1922 - 1984) GARDEN RELIEF

Jiří Bradáček graduated from the State Ceramic School in Prague in the studio of Václav Vokálek. In 1939 he was admitted to the School of Applied Arts, where he studied from 1939 to 1944 in the studio of Karel Dvořák. Bradáček first worked in the Duchcov porcelain factory Royal Dux, for which he designed small sculptures. In the early years of his work, Bradáček was influenced by the cubism and social civilism of Otto Gutfreund and the sculptures of Emil Filla. This inspiration can also be seen in the artist's early sculpture Garden with two stylized figures resembling the motif of Adam and Eve. Author's adjustment.
