Ota Janeček (1919 - 1996) SITTING NUDE

Red linocut of a female nude was made by the talented and versatile painter Ota Janeček, 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 famous. The dimension given is that of a sheet.
