František Kaván
(Lhota Vichovska 1866-1941 Libuň near Jičín)
A vast landscape with a cross at dawn, titled "Zacátek soumraku", signed and dated Kaván (19)00, watercolor on paper 52 x 59 cm, framed, slightly browned, some foxing, (BH)
From 1890 to 1895 František Kaván studied landscape at the Academy of Prague with Julius Marak. In 1892 an exhibition in Prague with works of Antonin Chitussi who had died a year before, impressed the young artist very much. When he turned to Symbolism, he was criticized by his teacher which made him leave the Academy. Around 1900 he received a gold medal for his “cloud paintings” at the Paris world exhibition. Thereafter he returned to pure landscape painting, to which he remained faithful until his death. He is best known for his winter paintings.
