Oil on canvas. Featuring still life of vase and flowers. Signed and attr. Emil Filla (Czech, 1882-1953). 18 x 13 in (45.7 x 33 cm). Emil Filla is considered one of the Czech Republic’s most famed Cubist painters. Filla studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague between 1903 and 1906. From there, he went on to join Osma, a national group similar in philosophy and practice to the Fauvists, with ties to the German Expressionist group Die Brucke. He was extremely influenced by Pierre Bonnard and Edvard Munch, but, by 1910, Filla adopted a more Cubist style. PROVENANCE: Southern Ontario Estate
