Před bouří 1937

Josef Čapek's "Před bouří" (Before the Storm) is a 1937 painting that depicts a man walking with a dog, in the foreground, while another man is walking towards the right side of the frame. The painting was created during a time of great political and social turmoil, and the ominous storm clouds that dominate the composition may reflect the anxieties of the time. The simplified forms and bold colors evoke a sense of urgency and foreboding, highlighting the artist's interest in Expressionism. The painting is a testament to Čapek's ability to capture the human condition in the face of adversity.
