  • OTA JANEČEK 1919 - 1996 - STILL LIFE WITH A BOOK
    Dec. 04, 2024

    OTA JANEČEK 1919 - 1996 - STILL LIFE WITH A BOOK

    Est: -

    This rare early work by Ota Janeček dates from the time when he studied at the Prague School of Arts and Crafts (1941-1942), which he did not complete. Soon afterwards he became a member of the SVU Mánes. The still life with a finished cup and a book shows both a certain degree of loose expressiveness and nostalgic lyricism. Later, Ota Janeček stylistically switched to Cubism, where related still lifes of silent reading with a glass and possibly a pipe resonate again. The artist's path led from paintings of figures and still lifes, travel landscape paintings to non-figurative work that shows all the signs of abstraction. The work comes from the artist's studio. Technique: oil on cardboard, Signed: sign. lower left: Janeček 1941

    OTA JANEČEK 1919 - 1996 - MAN IN A BLACK HAT

    Est: -

    The Man in the Black Hat is one of Janeček's starting points for shape reduction influenced by abstraction and cubism. Ota Janeček was a full-time artist, his work was based on the domestic tradition and the legacy of European modernism. From the initial impulses of cubism, lyrical figuralism or French colourism, he turned his attention to his own unmistakable expression. Works by Ota Janeček can be found in the National Gallery in Prague, the Tate Gallery in London, the National Library in Paris, the MC Nay Institute in San Antonio, USA, the Tochigi Prefectural Museum of Fine Arts in Japan and the National Gallery of Wales.

    OTA JANEČEK 1919 - 1996 - HEAD OF A MAN

    Est: -

    Ota Janeček was one of the prolific and very rigorous authors who almost scientifically progressed to the optimal abstraction of shapes. The head of a man is one of his frequently treated themes, to which he returned repeatedly, each time trying to imprint something of his personal artistic poetry on it. While the earlier Head subjects from the 1960s are composed of a rather more reserved and earthy palette, the presented Head of a Man is much wilder and the facial expression reveals introspection and inner conflict.

    OTA JANEČEK 1919 - 1996 - WINTER

    Est: -

    Despite all the distinctiveness of Ota Janeček's creative character, his work can be associated with Czech artists such as Jiří Trnka for his poetic landscape sensibility, Zdeněk Seydl or František Tichy. However, we can also find a connection to older artists such as Pieter Bruegel the Elder. Especially the winter motifs of this representative of 16th century Dutch painting attracted him with the melancholic lyricism of bare trees, whose rich branches stand out strikingly in their brown against the white background of the snowy landscape. The imaginative charge, executed with draughtsmanship, is often based on the intermingling of reality and dream, of precise natural detail with the cosmic whole of the earthly world in the evocative unity between man and the natural world that Janeček's illustrations exude. The work on offer, Winter, is part of a set of illustrations for a songbook for kindergartens published in 1986. Framed under anti-reflective glass with UV filter.

    OTA JANEČEK 1919 - 1996 - STANDING FIGURE

    Est: -

    The relief by the prominent Czech painter and sculptor Ota Janeček depicts a standing figure made using the assemblage technique from wooden parts, supplemented with local painting. The work belongs to a small group of the artist's mostly metal sculptures from the late 1960s, which he created in his studio outside of Prague. The work corresponds in meaning and appearance to the broader body of Janeček's work, which at the time represented a shift from the Ecce Homo series (Behold, a Man!) to the situation after 1968 with the tragic metaphor of the man-as-target (Jan Palach). Here Janeček explores the relationship of individualised form, distinctly felt in plasticity, to surface. In this way, the relief follows on from his paintings created at this time, which revolve around the question "what is the world made of?". The relief on offer comes from the artist's estate.

Undoubtedly, the child's mind was a great inspiration to him, as its acumen and ability to solve different situations often surpasses that of adults.

    In the 1970s and 1980s, Ota Janeček's work is dominated by a dreamy and fragile line. When it came to drawings of girls or female nudes, they permeate Ota Janeček's work continuously and represent a time-lapse document of his approaches. At first, he was based on Amedeo Modigliani, but through gradual chiselling, he reached his own intimate position of the drawing, which is above all intensely felt and completely brilliantly, even calligraphically, mastered in an ingenious shorthand.

    The scenery of the thistle silhouette illuminated by the setting sun, into which the reign of silence and eternal peace has entered, belongs to the easily recognizable repertoire of Ota Janeček. A harmonious effect is achieved here by the composition of spatial plans with a highly contoured contour in the foreground and a solar gradient in the background. He only lets living and inanimate nature speak to us visually. All of Janeček's free and applied creation of poetic expression with an important role of color is thematically focused on nature and its detail.

    OTA JANEČEK 1919 - 1996 - LANDSCAPE WITH THE GERMS OF LIFE

    Est: -

    The surrealist landscape cancels the relative distances between the small and the large and lets the landscape elements speak in parallel with the small and germinal elements. Here, he achieves a harmonious effect by composing spatial plans with a low and fragmented horizon and an earthy color, and lets only living and inanimate nature speak to us visually. For early, poetically conceived cycles, he found inspiration in nature (Birds, Trees, Butterflies, Grasses). From the 1960s, he used new handwritten structural elements (Organisms, Cells) in anthropomorphic motifs. All of Janeček's free and applied creation of poetic expression with an important role of color is thematically focused on nature and its detail. Ota Janeček was an important Czech painter, graphic artist and illustrator. Ota Janeček's works can be found in NG in Prague, Tate Gallery and other collections around the world.

    Est: -

    The charm of Ota Janeček's works lies in his ability to create a visual poem. A bird dozing on a stone in the setting sun, a blue tulip emerges in muted colors. The calm and relaxed composition is an ideal counterpart to Jan Skácel's lullabies in verse, a work that has a lot in common ideologically with Ota Janeček - love for nature, love for people and things, safety, peace in the landscape, certainty.

    Ota Janeček's Pond seems quiet, delicate and believably depicts the forms of nature, but not in a simple and descriptive way, but in an emotional and poetic language. Raw reality has no place here, but the world is seen through Janeček's lens and told from the heart in a painterly analogy of verses that flow on the calm surface of a pond, and the brush presentation in the form of grasses in the foreground acquires a visual poem and rhythm.

    This bravura work on paper by the important Czech artist Ota Janeček dates from the time after his graduation from the School of Applied Arts in Prague, the year he joined the S.V.U. Mánes, where he worked until 1949. His first paintings were marked by the expressiveness typical of the war period. Some of his paintings show inspiration from Amedeo Modigliani, or from the cubism of Pablo Picasso and Emil Filla. It was in 1943 that the strands of his later work began to crystallize, especially his drawings of female nudes. He also begins to exhibit independently for the first time. Apart from painting, printmaking forms a very important part of Janeček's work, especially linocuts, lithography, and drypoint, of which he said: 'I have been doing drypoint from the very beginning and I liked it because I don't need a "kitchen" or a "laboratory". I just need a board and a needle in my pocket. And then - it's a technique of truth. It reveals with absolute certainty how you can draw."

Janeček was awarded several times in the competition for the most beautiful Czechoslovak book of the year. His interest was mainly focused on the depiction of nature; his delicate stylization of flowers, birds, butterflies, and blades of grass is reminiscent of the masters of Japanese hanging paintings in its fragility, and in contrast, his precise line drawing, trained in the school of cubism, is well suited to express the gentle strokes of the female body.

    OTA JANEČEK 1919 - 1996 - A BOY IN A RED BERET AND WITH A HUGE PERCH

    Est: -

    Ota Janeček's works are among the items still sought after at auctions. The painting A Boy in a Beret and with a Huge Perch belonged to the author's personal property. It is probable that the author had a certain personal affection for him, because it was a permanent part of his family background. It is a very mature and relatively large canvas, which is a typical example of the author's work in the late fifties and early sixties. During this period, he focused his attention on the decomposition of the area and the internal structure, as if he were remotely returning to the principles of cubism with which he experimented in the 1940s. This time, however, the shapes are converted only into areas that are color-structured. Works from this period are very rare on the art market. Technique: Oil on canvas, Signed: Lower right "O.

OF rejected the totalitarian communist regime. In Slovakia, the Public Against Violence (VPN) movement played a similar role. The first informal leader of the OF movement was Václav Havel. Ota Janeček symbolically composed it in the form of a triumphant pyramid with flags rising to the blue sky. Technique: Oil on canvas, Signed: Lower right "Ota Janeček 1990"

    OTA JANEČEK 1919 - 1996 - IN THE GRASS

    Est: -

    Ota Janeček's works are among the items still sought after at auctions. He often focused on the beauties of nature, which he depicted very sensitively and fragile, and its fine line often resembles Asian woodcuts or ink paintings. He builds the structure of vegetation very carefully with an emphasis on plant anatomy and often creates moods in it that correspond to the light situation in the landscape. Ota Janeček's works can be found at the National Gallery in Prague, the Tate Gallery in London, the National Library in Paris, the MC Nay Institute in San Antonio, USA, the Tochigi Prefectural Museum of Fine Arts in Japan and the National Gallery of Wales. Technique: Oil on canvas on cardboard, Signed: Lower right "Janeček 50"
