Maggiori informazioni sul libro
This monographic publication offers a representative and comprehensive selection of the works of Jaroslav Valečka from 2010 to 2015, showcasing an artist who has emerged as a significant figure in the contemporary Central European artistic generation, building on the long tradition of Czech landscape painting and symbolist imagination. In addition to Valečka's typical, enchanting landscapes with distant horizons and magical light situations, this book reveals the hidden, inner sources of his work, uncovering the connection between the artist's creations and the landscape of his childhood, the contemplative and melancholic environment of the Lusatian Mountains, and the "chilling" stories of its inhabitants. The introductory study is written by renowned British theorist and curator Edward Lucie-Smith, an author of over a hundred publications in art history and poetry, whose most famous book, Art Today, remains an essential manual of contemporary global artistic creation. Further insightful studies on Valečka's work have been contributed by art historians Martina Vítková, Rea Michalová, and curator Veronika Marešová.
