František Hudeček (1909 - 1990) HOUSES OF THE POOR

František Hudeček was a Czech painter, graphic artist and illustrator. Among his soulmates were František Gross and Ladislav Zívr. As a sensitive artist, he looked at this world with a portion of melancholy and, especially during the war, created grim works with reference to human destiny and the unbearable weight of war. The landscape of the Houses of the Poor is carried in the spirit of his empathy. Drawing is carried out in a way that bears a premonition of a dark future.
