Lot 147

Bohuslav Reynek (1892 - 1971) PIETA

The stories about the betrayal, suffering and martyrdom of Christ are the most extensive whole in Reynk's work. Bohuslav Reynek experimented with coloring graphics from the very beginning. He adapted a color press from several plates for his needs so that only one single plate was enough for him. The color is never exactly in the same places - he often experimented with application. He was often very excited about the result and deliberately tried to make each print a little different. Sometimes he even returned to records from earlier years and supplemented them. Passion cycles were printed in Petrkov after 1948 and in modest numbers. Some graphics only in one copy.
