VYTLACIL, Vaclav. Original Artwork. 1970. 6" x 10 ½" mixed-media in contemporary black frame. A drawing in gouache and pastel by this important, somewhat neglected, figure in the history of modernist painting. With its bold white and yellow strokes and stylized figure, the drawing recalls European primitivism, but filtered through a distinctly postwar American sensibility. Vytlacil was an American painter of Czech descent who taught at Black Mountain College, among other places. His most notable students include Robert Rauschenberg and Louise Bourgeois, and he was a close colleague and friend of Willem De Kooning. Signed and dated by the artist in pencil.
