Václav Spála

Václav Spála is a Czech artist, graphic artist, designer and illustrator, one of the most important figures in Czech contemporary art.

He studied at the Prague Academy, was a member of the group Tvrdošížní ("Stubborn") and was a member of the Manes association. He was also a member of the Group of Fine Artists in Prague, a group of young Czech Cubist modernists.

He is again and again inspired by the summer landscape, partly Czech, partly Mediterranean, flowers in a vase or still life with fruit. To this day, Vaclav Spala's work still attracts with its linear and colorful rhythms, lightness of form, expressive handwriting and clear and playful intonation. By combining two opposing worlds - the world of French modernism and the world of the Czech countryside, cubism and folk art - unique works were created, not only for the Czech Republic. Spala also worked on stage designs, posters, book covers and created a series of toys.
