Veristic Surrealism
Interactive tour around František Hudeček's painting
Into the Space (1931) by František Hudeček Olomouc Museum of Art
"Into the Space"
In the work of František Hudeček the influence of Italian metaphysical painting ( Giorgio de Chirico , 1888–1978) is apparent, it was close to his heart because of its inclination towards phantasy and relaxed imagery.
For that matter, František Muzika (1890-1974) also captured dreams and visions in his paintings and he liked, apart from automatic drawing, the technique of the crooked mirror.
The painting titled 'Into the Space' is a vision of an imaginary landscape with a dominant organic and dynamic structure, or a concretisation of the painter's inner model.
Its elegance and perfect shape are disturbed and bound by stripes of an unknown material or plant .
The painting is rendered in the virtuoso painting technique in the spirit of veristic surrealism.
