Lithograph print on paper. Signed lower right: “Jan Zrzavý”. Geometry dominates Jan Zrzavý's pictures of Venice and most of his still-lifes, which bear only a slight resemblance to the real world. The landscape is always a stage that people have not entered yet or have just exited. Zrzavý's work was based in early 1920s Symbolism. He was always himself, completely different; following his avant-garde beginnings, he can at best be classified as an artist who preferred Neoclassicism, New Objectivity and Magical Realism.
