About event
▪️ Twins Květ and Jitko Válova would each deserve their own separate lecture, but their lives and artistic work cannot be separated from each other. What did they have in common and what made them different, what was their fate, where did their inspiration come from, how did they become aware of the art scene, who were they close to? We will try to answer these and other questions in the second lecture of the series Vystúply ze stínu II.
After the successful first series of lectures dedicated to female visual artists creating in the 20th century, which we started last year in the restored sculpture studio of Věra and Vladimír Janoušková, we are listing his second year. Historically, women artists became in the shadow of their male colleagues, in many countries they were forbidden to study at art academies, and their artistic emancipation was often thorny. Our series will once again present you with a varied mix of portraits of Czech and Czechoslovakian female artists - painters, sculptors, illustrators, architects and designers, in which we will deal with their creative work, but also with the context of the time and environment in which they lived and worked. The aim of the lecture series is not the first-rate adoration of women artists, but rather the repayment of a certain debt in the public's awareness of their artistic work.
Art historian Markéta Čejková will guide you through the series.
