Singing Girls 1936

'Singing Girls' by Josef Capek seems to emerge from a world of color and form; a testament to the enduring power of paint on canvas. I am drawn to the juxtaposition of soft and solid shapes, and the joyful palette dominated by warm yellows, blues, and reds. Imagine Capek, brush in hand, coaxing life into the singing girls, their forms abstracted yet full of movement. I feel a sense of camaraderie with him; the solitary act of painting can feel like entering a conversation with those gone before. The painting's gestures resonate like echoes of Matisse and Picasso. It reminds me of the back-and-forth that painters have – a constant exchange of inspiration. Capek, in his way, is contributing to this ever-evolving language. Let’s celebrate his mark!
