Oil on hardboard. Signed lower center: “Valter 1982”, on back “AIGINA/ Řecko”. Although Karel Valter is artistically associated with the landscape of South Bohemia, this exceptional seacoast scene from the area around Aegina, Greece, demonstrates his beautiful color interpretation of the southern landscape. In his early work, the Czech painter and graphic artist captured the landscape in Fauvist expressive color; from the 1960s he worked towards encapsulating its inner substance through the use of color structures. He also created art prints. In 1992 he exhibited in Linz and Paris.
