Antonín Procházka Prints – Still Life, Figures & Modernist Forms
Antonín Procházka prints move between recognisable figures and objects rearranged into intersecting planes. A city view, a flower vase and a reader offer different ways of organising the surrounding space. Explore the collection alongside Cubist prints, still life art and figurative work, comparing angular divisions with rounded forms.
The city above the foreground crowd
View of Prague Castle sets a line of people along the near edge of a broad view towards river buildings and the castle beyond. Soft warm architecture contrasts with the cooler foreground figures. The layered arrangement gives the people and the distant city separate but connected areas within the picture.
Objects within overlapping planes
Still Life with Vase and Flower gathers a vessel, flower and other small forms inside a tall angular structure. Pale surfaces are divided by dark edges, with a few warmer accents near the centre. The familiar objects remain partly readable while the surrounding planes make their positions and scale less straightforward.
A rounded figure beside arranged objects
Girl Reading places a seated reader near a small table and flower vase, with crossed legs and the book held close to the body. The modelling gives the figure a solid presence. Compare this quieter arrangement with the fragmented still lifes, where objects merge more closely with the surrounding geometry.

The Cubism collection develops the angular connections, while still life prints offers other ways of arranging flowers, vessels and familiar objects within a limited space.
