Czech Cubism is one of the most important contributions of modern
Czech art to world culture. These works, created approximately
between 1910 and 1935, embrace painting, drawing, graphic art,
collage, sculpture, architecture and applied art, and the
movement's leading lights - including painters Emil Filla and
Bohumil Kubista, sculptor Otto Gutfreund and architect Pavel Janak
- were among the most exciting practitioners of Cubism anywhere in
the world. The Gallery of West Bohemia is home to one of the most
important collections of the best Czech Cubist art, painstakingly
assembled since the early 1960s. The artworks included here have
played a vital role in rehabilitating the avant-garde in a country
where modernist art had suffered decades of political repression.
As such, the collections of the Gallery of West Bohemia have been
crucial to the revival of the domestic art scene in Bohemia and
beyond, and continue to inspire contemporary Czech artists. This
book, expertly compiled by Gallery Director Roman Musil and his
team, introduces some of the finest works of Czech Cubism to an
international audience.

Jan Jedlicka is a painter, draftsman, graphic artist, photographer
and filmmaker, but also a wanderer, observer and explorer. His
paintings are primarily a record of what he experiences as he walks
through the landscape and engages with its changes. Combining
different techniques and media, he creates multi-layered images of
places he observes, usually over long periods of time. Formative
for him were his sojourns in the Italian Maremma, Prague, and some
areas in the British Isles. The publication opens up Jedlicka's
work in its entirety – not chronologically, but as a mapping of
the artist's movements through the landscape and along the paths of
his various artistic strategies.
