50 Masterpieces of Czech Fin De Siècle Art: From the Collections of the Gallery of West Bohemia in Pilsen
Text by Roman Musil, Ivana Skálová, Marie Rakušanová, Šárka Leubnerová, Aleš Filip
The fin de siècle artworks collection in The Gallery of West Bohemia in Pilsen ranks among the best public collections in the Czech Republic. It covers all the key trends that appeared on the contemporary art scene, i.e. naturalism, symbolism, impressionism and art nouveau. At that time, Czech art was an integral part of international structures and many artists from the Czech lands studied, exhibited or worked in the key cultural centers of Europe, such as Vienna, Munich and Paris. The Pilsen collection includes, among others, works of two artists who achieved worldwide fame: one of the most important protagonists of art nouveau, Alfons Mucha, and the co-founder of abstract painting, František Kupka.
