Painter Josef Ingriš trained at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague under Professor Vojtěch Hynais. His work is categorized as part of the Czech academic painting movement from the first half of the 20th century (Marie Rakušanová, Bytosti odjinud, Academia 2008), which includes painters who are less researched and cited alongside renowned names in the Czech modernism and avant-garde movement. Ingriš’s preserved nudes are remarkable for their special sense of poetry and harmony influenced by the period Art Deco style, enhanced by the use of pastel colors and pink accents. In Dance of Life, Ingriš adds further contextual meaning to this expressive period dancer reminiscent of the playful nudes of dancers and their shadows in Drtikol’s photographs from the same period.
