Lot information
Karel Holan was a Czech painter whose works often reflect the melancholy and gloomy atmosphere of the Czech landscape. This painting entitled "Snowy Quarry" from 1945 is a typical example of Holan's work, in which he focuses on the non-idealized reality of nature, often with a strong emotional charge. The composition of the image is based on the contrast of the snowy landscape and the raw walls of the quarry. Here, Holan uses muted color tones and strong textures that give the image a certain roughness and depth. Leafless trees leaning over the snowy road emphasize the sense of desolation and quiet calm of the winter landscape. The painting "Snowy Quarry" is a strong expression of Holan's ability to capture the rawness and melancholy of Czech nature, especially in the post-war years, when personal and social experiences from the Second World War are reflected in his work. This work represents an important example of his landscape painting work and his sensitive handling of atmosphere and mood in his paintings.
