Jitka Kolínská (1930 - 1992) A PARK AT NIGHT

The park, illuminated at night only by the moon and the light from human dwellings, has a subtle aesthetic on human emotions and awakens memories. It gives the impression of a calm and quiet place created by the moment, and the refined styling and the color palette used create tension and at the same time look extremely tender and poetic. Jitka Kolínská's magical realism acted as a revelation at the exhibitions of the May 57 group. One of the paintings contained a quote from Shakespeare, which was noticed by a communist censorship. Several painting groups in Germany initially sought for her. Jitka Kolínská also devoted herself to illustrations of books for the youngest. It is her ability to project emotions into images and illustrations through symbols and visual poetry that is characteristic of her works.
