    ADOLF BORN 1930 - 2016 - ICE SKATING

    Est: -

    Skating on the river or on the ice is one of the famous themes of Dutch painting. It is a popular genre painting that often very faithfully depicts a wide range of characters, often in comic situations or at work. In the case of Adolf Born, however, it is a completely innovative concept with its own dose of humour. Each composition is an impressive spectacle, and the featured characters have different moods and personal characteristics. Framed under anti-reflective glass with UV filter. Technique: etching, paper, Signed: sign. lower right: A Born

    Dec. 04, 2024

    ADOLF BORN 1930 - 2016 - CAT LOVER

    Est: -

    Adolf Born has left behind an impressive, timeless body of work that is full of affectionate humour and impeccable craftsmanship. A somewhat nostalgic and fabulously thoughtful world offers reflection and relaxation as a counterpoint to art that engages in complex, fierce struggles. In his prints, animals become people and people often become animals. Through ingenious abbreviations and puns, humour becomes accessible to children and adults alike. Adolf Born sweeps viewers away with an extraordinary wave of imagination, bringing encounters that have never taken place in history, as well as situations he portrays in familiar settings. Framed under anti-reflective glass with UV filter. Technique: lithography, paper, Signed: sign. lower right: ABorn

    Painter, cartoonist, illustrator, graphic artist, caricaturist and costume designer Adolf Born became famous for his unmistakable style and his extensive graphic work. His affectionate and multi-layered humour often touches on the absurd, connects the seemingly unconnected and speaks a language that is close to adults and children alike. Historical figures become part of a visual fable that, in addition to making us smile, makes us think about the guiding threads that tie the whole theme together.

    ADOLF BORN 1930 - 2016 - RECEPTION BY THE EMPEROR RUDOLF

    Est: -

    In folk fantasy and archaizing stylization, Adolf Born found a form that inspired him. Solid contours, careful hatching and calligraphic elements combine into the rich stylistic range of Born's narrative. Each graphic is a bit of a pun and a mystery - cunning courtiers are perhaps presenting Sirael herself, perhaps another muse to Emperor Rudolph II. on an imaginary Trojan boar full of Turks led by Johannes Kepler. The emperor, completely dazed, doesn't even notice a nudge from Kateřina Stradová. The performance naturally catches the eye of Giuseppe Arcimboldo, the master of pictorial secrets, who peers suspiciously from the ground. Published in: Barnes, P., Malina, J. et al.: Adolf Born. Masaryk University in Brno, 1995. p. 76 Technique: etching, paper, Signed: sign. lower right: A Born

Each composition is an impressive spectacle, and the performing characters have different moods and characteristics. Author's print.

    ADOLF BORN 1930 - 2016 - KARA MUSTAFA'S SPY DETENTED NEAR VIENNA

    Est: -

    Turkey and Turkish motifs were close to Adolf Born's heart. Sultans, harem dancers, Turkish calligraphy, Turkish humor - all this became a fountain of inspiration for Adolf Born. Kara Mustafa was a central figure in the final phase of Ottoman military endeavor in Central Europe. He failed at Vienna with two hundred thousand men and was subsequently executed. Adolf Born in the presented humorous work offers one of the possible variants of how this happened. Technique: watercolour, pastel, paper, Signed: sign. lower right: - A Born 2008

    ADOLF BORN 1930 - 2016 - CABARET ARTISTS

    Est: -

    Adolf Born liked to draw since childhood. "I enjoy that you can let your imagination run wild and that the children accept it." His work, full of humor, attracts viewers both with its imagination and, above all, with its accessibility to anyone who wants to have fun. The composition of the Cabaret artists is grotesque mainly due to the construction of the bizarre unicycle, which is held together by animals, instead of a horn, it has an integrated trained bird, and in tow is a mermaid in a bathtub. In his view, illustrations work completely independently even without text, both for adults and children. His considerable cultural outlook and numerous travels, where he collected exotic subjects, are also a big bonus. Technique: watercolour, pastel, paper, Signed: sign. lower right: A Born 2007

    ADOLF BORN 1930 - 2016 - TRAVELLING ARLECCHINO

    Est: -

    Harlequin (Arlecchino) in the commedia dell'arte is cunning to the point of malice, often thinking mainly of himself. The theme of the jealous Harlequin, who wants everything for himself and keeps Columbine on a leash or in a cage, was worked on by Adolf Born several times in graphics. In Born's view, the sinister harlequin is a distinctive caricature of himself. Adolf Born became the leading personality of the generation that created and raised modern Czech cartoon humor to the world level. Since the 1960s, when he first introduced himself as a cartoonist, his works have been exhibited and appreciated around the world. Technique: Lithography on paper, Signed: Lower right "A Born"

    ADOLF BORN 1930 - 2016 - THE ORIENTAL MAGICIAN AND HIS PROPS

    Est: -

    Adolf Born (1930 – 2016) became known to Czech audiences primarily as the creator of the evening dramas Mach and Šebestová or Žofka and her adventures. He said of his illustrations: “I like it when the illustration lives a parallel life alongside the text. When the adventures of the funny dog are being told, I also develop the story of the cat sitting behind the fence. Children enjoy it, they can figure out both stories." Adolf Born breaks down the boundaries between "big" and "small" art and draws inspiration for each illustration from the bottomless hat of imagination and fantasy.
