Karel Souček (1915 - 1982) A NUDE

Karel Souček is one of the most distinctive figures of the artistic generation who joined in the 1940s. After a difficult start in Kladno, he joined Group 42 with its program focused on the modern world and poetry of the city. As a resident of workers' Kladno, who came from modest conditions, he was directly captivated by city life, as symbolized by shop windows, passages, passages, canteens, cafeterias and vending machines, cafes and hairdressers. The work Nude sensitively captures a woman at the mirror while styling her hair.
