Prague V: Růžena Zátková


More shots of the exhibit. This is Růžena and her sister who was also an artist.



Sorry about the quality of some of the shots. The lighting was dark, but I didn't want to use a flash so I have an occasional blurry shot.












A trip to Majorca that she took with nothing but latin men (see below).









Vasily is my great grandfather.



Sorry this is so blurry. I believe they lived next to the Spanish Steps in Rome for a bit (shown here).



Her interpretations of Rodin's and Meštrović's art.

Prague IV: Růžena Zátková


We went to the opening of the exhibit of my great grandmother, Růžena Zátková, in the Imperial Stables of Prague Castle. The exhibit was fantastic and a big thank you goes to the curator, Alena Pomajzlová, for putting this exhibit together. Without her, our family would not have learned so much about Růžena. Here are some of the photos I took in the exhibit of Růžena's work, influences, and life story.
