Ota Janeček (1919 - 1996) HEAD OF FEMALE

This late graphic work of a profile of a woman is by the important and versatile painter Ota Janeček, who drew on both domestic tradition and the legacy of European modernism in his work. From the initial impulses of cubism, lyrical figuralism or French colourism, he turned his attention to his own unmistakable expression. That dimension is the dimension of the leaf.
