Czech Architectural Cubism, a unique
style reflected in a number of structures built in Prague and elsewhere between
1911-1914 and then briefly after the World War by Czech artists, designers and
architects such as Pavel Janak, Josef Gocar, Josef Chochol or Vlastislav Hofman,
who took their inspiration from the Cubism movement in Paris and brought it to
Prague. Today Architectual Cubism is highly acclaimed all over the world and the most well
known buildings in this style continue to
generate extraordinary level of interest. This exhibition was created in
cooperation with the Jaroslav Fragner Gallery in Prague by Zdenek Lukes and the
photographer Ester Havlova, whose black and white photographs superbly
illustrate this architectural style.
