Jaroslav Kafka (1896 - 1973) HOUSING ESTATE I.

A futuristic housing estate with a Fauvist color palette from the repertoire of Jaroslav Kafka. Jaroslav Kafka, a long-time friend of František Tichý, studied at UMPRUM in Prague, but was drafted into World War I and did not complete his studies due to life's vicissitudes. However, he did not give up painting and developed a style inspired by Pablo Picasso's morphology, but with his own jubilant colorfulness. Due to political conditions, he refused to exhibit his work.
