Landscape near Třeboň 1932

Cyprián Majerník’s “Landscape near Třeboň” is an oil painting, and it feels like a scene recalled from memory rather than observed directly. The colours are muted, but the application is quite physical; it's a painting concerned with touch. The building is central, but it seems integrated into the land. Look closely and you will notice how the green of the field merges with the white of the walls with short, quick strokes. Nothing is precisely delineated, allowing the eye to wander and consider the connections between the manmade and the natural. It's a painting about relationships, how structures emerge from the ground, how trees frame a view, how paint becomes something else entirely. Majerník's approach reminds me of the landscapes of Chaïm Soutine, where forms dissolve into fields of colour. Ultimately, this is not just a picture of a landscape, but an invitation to consider how we see, remember, and reconstruct the world around us.
