Cyril Bouda (1901 - 1984) ON THE PILES IN KLADNO

Cyril Bouda was important not only for his extensive oeuvre of paintings and prints, but also for his work as an art instructor. His illustrations have also been used in animated films (e.g., Hrnečku, vař!, 1953). A master of many different printmaking techniques, including wood and copper engraving, etching, and especially lithography, Bouda also designed Czechoslovak postage stamps and created stained glass designs (in the  northern nave of St. Vitus Cathedral by the Hilbert treasury and at St. Wenceslas Chapel in Mcely).
