Jitka Kolínská (1930 - 1992) STILL LIFE WITH A MOON

Jitka Kolínská's magical realism acted as a revelation at the exhibitions of the Máj 57 group. One of the paintings contained a quote from Shakespeare, which made her a suspect for the censors. Several painting groups in Germany initially sought after her to join their painter groups. Sophisticated stylization and the color palette used create tension and at the same time look extremely tender and poetic. Jitka Kolínská also devoted herself to illustrations of books for the youngest. It is her ability to project emotions into images and illustrations through symbols and visual poetry that is characteristic of her works.
