Bohuslav Reynek. Prints from the 1950s. Saint-Martin-d’Uriage (Isère), Le Belvédère, 1.02-10.03.2013.
The exhibition Bohuslav Reynek (1892-1971) – Prints from the 1950s provides a glimpse into the mysteries of a decade of creation, sheds light on the Czech artist’s deep ties with France and tells the story of the prints’ youth. They were born in Petrkov, collected in the privacy of houses in the Dauphiné and shown to the public at exhibitions in Grenoble, which this event recreates. For many years, landscapes, religious scenes and rare albums illustrated what could not be said by the artist in words in letters sent to France from dark Czechoslovakia. The works in the exhibition are from French private collections.

The exhibition Bohuslav Reynek. Don Quixote in Petrkov shows, next to the album Don Quixote —the only copy, put together and presented in Grenoble in 1960—landscapes, scenes from everyday life and Biblical figures, like so many engraved scenes steeped in great humanity, themselves part of the artist’s familiar world and gathered up by him. The works are from the Renaud-Reynek Endowment Fund.
