Ota Janeček (1919 - 1996) HEAD OF SLEEPING WOMAN

The head of a sleeping woman executed using the dry needle technique by Ota Janeček, an important and multi-talented painter whose work was based on both domestic tradition and the legacy of European modernism. From the initial impulses of cubism, lyrical figuralism or French colourism, he turned his attention to his own unmistakable expression. His drawings and prints of female nudes are renowned. The dimension given is that of a sheet.
