VÍTĚZSLAV JUNGBAUER 1919 - 2003: A LAMP 1968 Metal, Plexiglas 32 x 21,5 x 7,5 cm Signed on back: "JUNGBAUER 68" Sculptor Vítězslav Jungbauer originally apprenticed as a wood carver under his father in Nebahovy, a village near Prachatice. At the School of Applied Arts in Prague he studied under Professor Karel Dvořák and Josef Wagner, graduating in 1948 before settling in Prague.His work is focused on the expressive reassessment of realistic forms in a modern sense for contracted form, working with both traditional materials (wood, stone, bronze) and malleable plastics. He executed a Plexiglas relief featuring the seal of Charles University for the university's medical faculty and a 80 m2 relief map of Prague for the Czechoslovakia 60 exhibition in Moscow and Kiev. Plastic enabled him to create objects that interact with light (i.e.,are transparent).

MAX ŠVABINSKÝ 1873 - 1962: SUMMER NIGHT 1911 Mezzotint on paper (print: 55.0 cm x 49.0 cm)550 x 490 mm Signed lower right: "M. Švabinský" “Švabinský, a poet of bright sunshine and songful contours, occasionally longed for subjects dominated by darkness, with meticulously plotted lines giving way to picturesque transitions of soft, deep tones.In his oeuvre, the night is amiable, cozy, full of calm and warmth. Mezzotint is a technically exacting and delicate method. Švabinský had his mezzotint plates machine-rocked with fusiform dots, which were larger and less vulnerable. He did this because while working outdoors at night, he could have easily damaged the plates. More than any other technique, mezzotint requires an absolutely unique subject. It must be dark so that the material may be used as beautifully as possible. An August night in 1911 in Kozlova inspired the subject for Švabinský’s print. The weather was unusually hot, the stars sparkled with brilliance. An enormous linden tree stood next to the land opposite the farmhouse. Enchanted by the motif, Švabinský had a large plate brought in from Prague and for several nights he worked on it based on what he actually saw, a small lamp hanging from his neck.” From J. Kaušitz, Se Švabinským o grafice (With Švabinský about Graphic Art), SPN 1959, no. 26.
