The exhibition presents illustrations for the author's third book Bohuslav Martinů. In addition to the composer's life and work, the publication also looks back at the cultural and historical events of the first half of the 20th century, which accompanied and influenced his work. Bohuslav Martinů's rich life story and the diversity of his compositions demanded their response in the artistic treatment of the book. The overall cycle of paintings deliberately disrupts the visual continuity in the structure of the book, the form of the illustrations was to a certain degree subordinated to the contrasting conception of the composer's works, and the time and environment in which they were created. The individual illustrations thus change more significantly in terms of color, composition, and individual motifs. The chosen technique for the illustrations is oil painting and acrylic painting on canvas. The author worked on the book over the last two years.
