"Promenade in the Rieger Gardens," Bohumil Kubišta, 1907.
Kubišta (1884-1918) was a Czech painter and art critic, and is known as the founder of modern art in Czech culture.
He initially was very influenced by van Gogh and Cezanne, but later was blown away by an exhibit of Edward Munch and founded a group called Osma (The Eight) that explored Expressionism. After 1910 he began to explore Cubism and became much more modernist.
He was also a perceptive art critic who exhaustively studied optics, color theory, philosophy, geometry, mathematics, and other parts of the scientific side of art.
He joined the army in 1913 and passed away in 1918 from the raging flu pandemic that year.
From the National Gallery in Prague.
