Antonín Procházka first studied at the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague, and then at the Academy of Fine Arts with prof. V. Bukovac, H. Schwaiger and M. Švabinský. Procházka's work was initially influenced by the work of Edvard Munch, but he gradually moved from expressionism to his peculiar conception of cubism, also called Procházka's orphism. In the 1920s, he switched from neoclassicism to poetic primitivism. Like many of his peers, he was dissatisfied with academism, so he did not finish school and preferred to go to Berlin with E. Filla and B. Feigl, from where they continued to other European capitals to learn about current painting trends.
