Abstract
Pravoslav Sovák (1926-2022) is an artist whose presence and artistic merit has faded somewhat from the Czech public's awareness due to his emigration to Switzerland where he lived and worked from the late 1960s. After his recent death, Pravoslav Sovák is remembered in this exhibition through a selection of works from his oeuvre as one of the most outstanding European graphic artists of his generation.
During his lifetime he produced more than 330 graphic sheets in which he explored and developed the possibilities of the drypoint technique. Exhibited here are his works dating from the 1950s-1970s that constitute the core of Sovák's intaglio printing experiments.
