Václav Rabas’s landscapes  are pure, unadorned visions. The autumnal tones are authentic and muted under the cover of clouds so typically dreary dull in the fall. The landscape divided up into small fields appears somewhat different and has a different light in the foreground and background. The treatment of color and form evokes the work of Paul Cézanne, who made an impact on Rabas’s Impressionist interpretation of the landscape. Václav Rabas was the first to receive the title of Czechoslovak National Artist. He was a member of Umělecká Beseda and the Mánes Union of Fine Artists, co-founded the Hollar Association of Czech Graphic Artists, and was member of Karel Čapek's "Friday Men” group. Exhibition stickers on the back – from an exhibition in 1933–1934 and the Artists of the Nation 1943 exhibition.
