Jaroslav Grus (1891 - 1983) FLOWER BOUQUET IN A WINDOW

Jaroslav Grus studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague under Professor Hanus Schwaiger. Thanks to a scholarship, he visited Venice and Dalmatia, and later also visited France and Italy. His work, which focuses mainly on the Czech landscape, is characterised by its fauvist colouring and dynamic conception of the image. Lines and pastes laid down at a sovereign pace go beyond the conventional still life and capture the atmosphere of a sunny day.
