Woman with a fan by Emil Fila

Father of modern Czech art. A very innovative thinker that made him the leader of the avant garde movement. This picture was made in the Netherlands, where he took refuge after the war came to France.

One of the first Czech artists to take cubism seriously. Became a pioneer. There is still the visible influence of Dutch still life and 17th century landscape here.

He also includes dramatic chiaroscuro lighting throughout the painting.

This deserves to be zoomed in and seen in high quality. Please open it on a website to view.

One of my favourite cubist paintings.
