Current Affairs Frantisek Tichy exhibition at House at the Stone Bell

27-11-2002 | Dita Asiedu

If you stop a Czech and ask him what painter springs to mind when you mention harlequins and clowns, he will most probably say Frantisek Tichy. With over three hundred pieces of graphic art and hundreds of drawings and paintings, Frantisek Tichy is one of the country's most famous artists. However, since his death in 1961, Czechs have had little opportunity to see his work. That is why the City Gallery Prague opened an exhibition this month, putting over 250 works from Tichy on display at the House at the Stone Bell. Jana Orlikova is the author of the exhibition:
