JAN SMETANA 1918 - 1998 - A LATE BLOSSOM
Est: -
The city and its peripheries, the aesthetics of seemingly banal nooks and crannies, are the themes that inspired the important Czech modern painter and grower Jan Smetana. In his work, he placed great emphasis on light, lines, color shades and their saturation. He also tried to capture the poetics of the city with some abstracted organic structures, such as in The Late Flower. He was a member of group 42 and also of the Art Department of UB, The Hollar Association of Czech Graphic Artists and later became a member of group 58. In 1936 he began studying at the CTU in Prague at the Faculty of Architecture with O. Blažíček, K. Pokorný and C. Bouda. He was arrested by the Gestapo on November 17, 1939, and was in captivity until April 1940. After the war, he graduated from college and began working as an assistant professor, prof. M. Salcman at the Institute of Painting at the Ped. Faculty of Charles University in Prague. Smetana exhibited for the first time with Group 42, the first solo exhibition was in 1948 in Topič's salon in Prague, during his life a number of important group exhibitions took place, the last author's exhibition took place in 2006 at SGVU in Litoměřice.

JAN SMETANA (1918-1998): FROM MICHLE
Est: -
1943 26 x 36.5 cm (h x w) Oil on plywood. Signed lower right: "J. Smetana 1943".Label on reverse with inscription: "Smetana: Z Michle". The city and its outskirts, the aesthetics of seemingly mundane neighborhoods, are themes that inspired the important Czech modern painter and printmaker Jan Smetana. In his work he placed great emphasis on light, lines, and color shades and saturation. He was a member of Group 42, the Art Section of Umělecká Beseda, the Hollar Association of Czech Graphic Artists, and later Group 58. He entered the Czech Technical University in 1936, where he majored in architecture and studied under Oldrich Oldrich Blazicek, Karel Pokorny and Cyril Bouda. On November 17, 1939, he was arrested by the Gestapo and imprisoned until April 1940. From 1941 he studied at the School of Applied Arts in Prague under Professor Antonin Strnadel, but remained there for just one year. After the war ended he graduated and became a teaching assistant under Martin Salcman at the Institute of Painting at Charles University's Faculty of Education in Prague. He left the school in 1950 to focus on his own work. Afterwards, he taught figurative and landscape painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague. Smetana first exhibited with Group 42, and he hosted his first solo exhibition at Prague's Topic Salon in 1948; a number of important collected exhibitions were held during his lifetime. The last exhibition of Smetana's work was held at the North Bohemian Gallery of Fine Art in Litomerice in 2006. Starting price: 60 000 CZK (2 353 EUR)
