Alois Kalvoda (1875 - 1934) ON THE WAY TO THE VILLAGE

Alois Kalvoda belongs to the leading Czech landscape painters of the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. In the years 1892 - 1898, he studied at the Academy with Professor Julius Mařák. Aloise Kalvoda's landscapes break away from academic contours and work with a freer handwriting and refined soft color. The landscape reveals the influences of French Impressionism, and a welcome feature is the figurative staffing, which is rather rare in Alois Kalvoda.
