MARTIN BENKA (ATTRIBUTED) 1888 - 1971 - FARMSTEAD COURT
Est: -
The work Hospodářský dvůr, attributed to Martin Benka, bears a distinctive style of the painting school of Alois Kalvoda. The generously conceived theme of a simple country house in a bright midday light with strong textures is one of the possible trips to the open air, which Alois Kalvoda and his pupils took, and Martin Benka later continued in them independently. The idyllic setting has inspired him many times to create impressive views of cottages with old sheds and fenced gardens. The painting comes from the collection of Václav Laurin (brand Laurin & Klement). Technique: Oil on canvas, Signed: Unsigned

MARTIN BENKA (1888-1971) RUSSIAN CHURCH 1925, Slovakia The work most probably belongs to a period, during which Benka made a trip to the Zakarpattia Oblast, from which he brought many studies. The painting unites architecture, which is rather uncommon in the author's oeuvre, with his characteristic figures. Oil on canvas, signed left bottom: M.Benka. Exhibition tags on the reverse side.

MARTIN BENKA (1888-1971) RATÍŠKOVICE U ROHATCE 1913-14, Moravia Alois Kalvoda used to go with his pupils painting en plein air to various places across Bohemia and Moravia, where they would draw landscape studies. From just such an excursion comes the painting in question, Ratiškovice, which represents one of the few winter landscapes in Benka's works. Kalvoda's influence is still rather recognisable in the painting. Oil on paperboard, signed bottom right: M.Benka. There is a tag with a description of the location on the reverse side of the painting.
