Vladimír Komárek (1928 - 2002) STILL LIFE WITH A CUP AND GLASS

The still life featuring a goblet and a glass is a poetic and typical work in keeping with Komárek’s oeuvre. The piece is rendered in soft shadows and blurred contours with a characteristic pastel color palette. Vladimír Komárek was not an artistic exhibitionist; he strove to create works that were harmonious and beautiful, full of humanity—qualities he also appreciated in the works of his artistic colleagues. He built upon the legacy of Jan Zrzavý’s Czech imagination; he loved to live and create with optimism, produced numerous illustrations, and possessed a great talent for storytelling.
