Lot 171

Bohuslav Reynek (1892 - 1971) YOU WILL DISOWN ME THREE TIMES

Reynek's graphics with a biblical theme are among the most felt that he has ever created. The work comes from the peak period of Reynek's work. Through his love for animals, he projected emotions into his compositions and made them into symbols, just like in poems. While cats often appear randomly in his works, accompanying people and the plot, randomly appearing in the landscape, playing and taking care of their cat things, the rooster in this case is a unique symbol and may refer to Peter's denial of Christ, which Peter deeply regretted.
