FRANTIŠEK MUZIKA 1900 - 1974 - STAGE DESIGN - HAMLET
Est: -
František Muzika worked as a stage designer and used his artistic talents for the overall concept. The scene became a painting and his painterly style was projected onto it. Shapes, lines, surfaces - everything formed a sophisticated framework that was often very simple - most notably in the case of Hamlet (Zemské divadlo v Brně, 1936), where scenes appear that are intertwined with Muzika's paintings. Framed under anti-reflective glass with UV filter. Technique: pencil, gouache, black paper, Signed: unsigned

Frantisek MUZIKA (1900-1974) Paysage, 1925 Huile sur carton Signé et daté ‘F. Muzika 1925’ (en bas à droite) 46 x 54.5 cm. Provenance : - Paul Petit (Paris 1893 - Cologne 1944), écrivain, diplomate et résistant français, probablement acquis auprès de l’artiste dans les années 1920, soit lorsque Paul Petit était attaché à l’ambassade de France à Prague, soit lorsque Muzika étudiait à l’Ecole des Beaux-arts de Paris en 1924-25. Paul Petit a acquis au moins une autre oeuvre de Muzika qui fait aujourd’hui partie de la collection de la Galerie nationale de Prague. - Puis par descendance directe au propriétaire actuel. Cette rare composition de jeunesse de Frantisek Muzika, l’un des plus importants peintres surréalistes tchéque, illustre les débuts de l’artiste dans la veine du Réalisme Magique, avec des représentations pastorales d’apparence classique, mais imprégnées d’une étrangeté onirique qui préfigure l’évolution de l’artiste vers une synthèse unique entre cubisme et surréalisme.

FRANTISEK MUZIKA (Czech / Bohemian 1900 - 1974) - Whirlwind
Est: -
1966 | technique: lithograph on paper | 660 x 380 mm | signature: bottom right | framed under glass Lot description Frantisek Muzika, an important Czech painter and graphic artist, created the work Windstorm in 1966, which is an example of his unique surrealist vision. Muzika is known for his abstract and imaginative forms that often evoke a sense of mystery and emotion through dreamscapes and symbolic imagery. In Vichrica, swirling organic shapes evoke the power of natural elements, capturing movement and tension. The dynamic composition reflects Muzik's interest in the interaction between human perception and the invisible forces of nature. The use of flowing, curved lines and textured surfaces creates a sense of fluidity that is characteristic of his late work. Muzik's contribution to Czech art of the 20th century was significant when he combined surrealism with a poetic and often melancholic atmosphere in his work.

FRANTIŠEK MUZIKA 1900 - 1974 - MASK III
Est: -
From the expert opinion of PhDr. Rea Michalová Ph.D.: The painting "Mask III" is an original, by its quality and excellent provenance, collector's valuable, highly imaginative work of František Muzika, an extraordinarily educated and sophisticated, memorable personality, whose work belongs indisputably to the Czech and world avant-garde art scene. The painting "Mask III" is a powerfully lyrical work from the period when František Muzika definitively closed the series of tragic parables of the war years. The powerful surge of the artist's new shape fantasy literally buried the atmosphere of the immediately past suffocating times, which Karel Teige wrote about as "seven years of soulless repulsive masquerade". This was stated in the introduction to Muzika's first post-war exhibition at the Hořejš Gallery in Prague (1946), where the artist presented the first smaller painting from the Masks series, which in the final part consisted, as far as I know, of five oils dating from 1944-1947. In the present painting, František Muzika developed a method of fantasy interpretation of reality, based in this case on material metamorphosis inspired by the similarity of shape. An imaginative reading of what he saw allowed him to breathe into the shape of a withered leaf the mysterious form of a woman's face. We can speak of the anthropomorphisation of nature, which was the dominant principle of the previous cycle "Bohemian Paradise" (1943-1944). The hair of the phantom phantom depicted in the painting resembles, as a particularly poignant metaphor, a blazing flame. The painting can thus also be read "in reverse": the mask with the imprint of the female form is transformed by the heat of the flame into a twisted charred leaf that flies over the barren, structurally wrinkled landscape. "František Muzika's Mask III is a work of extraordinary expressive power, a work that, "shrouded in a veil of mystery", "can fascinate and enchant our future dreams with its mysterious hypnotic power" (Karel Teige). The work "Mask III" from the collection of the important Czech architect Otakar Novotny (1880-1959) is listed in the author's inventory under number 699. Technique: oil, canvas, Signed: signed and dated lower right: F. Muzika 1946
