Lot information
This large-format painting by Jaroslava Pešicová from 1990 is a fascinating example of her unmistakable style, which combines traditional painting techniques with strong symbolism and a modern concept of composition. A characteristic feature of this work is the use of a painting technique that uses lace as a template, which gives the surface of the painting a rich texture and fine decorative details. This method creates an illusory effect of the textile surface, which increases the visual depth of the work and the impressiveness of its ornamental character.Pešicová, known for her ability to connect surreal and symbolic elements, uses lace here not only as an aesthetic element, but also as a way to thematize historical and cultural references. The rich color palette of the painting, consisting of warm tones contrasting with fine details, underlines the monumentality of the work. The composition evokes strong emotional tension and at the same time preserves the decorative harmony typical of the author's work.
This painting belongs to a key period in Pešicová's work, when she experimented with a combination of figurative elements and abstract structures, often drawing inspiration from traditional women's crafts and ornaments. The work thus offers not only an aesthetic experience, but also a deeper reflection on the topic of tradition, identity and cultural memory.
Jaroslava Pešicová's work from this period is highly valued today among collectors and art institutions. Its presence in the auction represents a unique opportunity to acquire a work that personifies the highest values of Czech modern painting at the turn of the 20th century.
