Jan Zrzavý (1890 - 1977) IN KRUCEMBURK

Jan Zrzavý significantly influenced the development of Czech visual art with his creative imagination. From memory, Jan Zrzavý creates a lyrical world beyond the reach of the everyday world and preserves valuable experiences in it. Landscapes full of symbols, meditation and creatures are messengers of desires and projections of dreams. Jan Zrzavý loved Krucemburk so much that he called it his birthplace, even though he was not born there. He used to visit his relatives here and used to visit the parish priest. Although he was buried in Prague, he is buried here in Krucemburk. The work is dedicated to "Mr. Ing. Jaroslav Janáček in respect and sincere devotion - Jan Zrzavý - In Krucemburk 19. VIII. 1941".
