VLADIMÍR MENCL – PAINTINGS OF THE CZECH COUNTRYSIDE
A musician and painter – a combination of two artistic professions that is not common, but quite well-known in history – was born in České Budějovice, and his paintings are inspired mainly by the South Bohemian landscape. They have a warm, sensitive character in color and its multifaceted nuances – as if the sound of the piano, at which Vladimír Mencl used to sit, penetrates through them. He created a pleasant image of the world that resembles reality, but above all corresponds to the author’s own refined aesthetic.
He exhibited his works at more than 200 exhibitions both domestically and abroad.
