VACLAV BOSTIK (1913-2005) Sans titre bleu Pastel, signed low - Lot 171
VACLAV BOSTIK (1913-2005) Sans titre bleu Pastel, signed lower center. 76.5 x 56.5 cm. Paper pasted at the corners on cardboard, traces of old scotch tape at the top, tiny tear in the lower left corner. PROVENANCE: Galerie Lamaignère Saint-Germain. Expert: Agnès Sevestre-Barbé A major figure in 20th-century Czech art, Václav Boštík began with sensitive figurative painting before moving, from the 1950s onwards, towards luminous, introspective abstraction. Trained at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague, he was one of the founding members of UB 12, a group of modernist artists created in 1960 in opposition to official dogma. His formally rigorous work explores color as a source of light and spiritual vibration. At the same time, he worked as a restorer, notably in the Episcopal chapel in Litoměřice. Boštík's silent, universal pictorial language places him among the great Central European abstractionists.
