Karel Malich (1924 - 2019) FIELD

From the expert assessment of PhDr. Rea Michalová, Ph.D.: "The assessed painting "Field" represents an excellent example of Malich's work from the "initiation" creative period, when he goes through the lessons of modern Czech landscape painting and reaches the first significant artistic gains. Confrontation of the landscape especially native Holice with the language of modern painting was the first point The traditional landscape theme is denied by a formal concept, which suggests the whole other direction of the author: the pictorial space is perceived as a combination of tightly colored plans and cubist forms (sheaves), which become the bearers autonomous sensitive and psychic contents. The assessed work "Field" can thus be understood as one of the conclusive starting points of Malich's work. "
