Lot 112

Milada Marešová (1901 - 1987) BRIDE

Brides and widows are particularly significant archetypes in Milada Marešová’s work. With their heads bowed, lost in their own thoughts, they embody the delicate human psyche as two distinct poles bound by a single, inescapable fate. Quiet and melancholic, both brides and widows reflect in their faces the awareness of their decisions and experience separation from their old roles; they are changing and embracing a new one.
