Josef Mánes – Obrazy do kapsy / Pocket paintings

The booklet dedicated to Josef Mánes presents one of the key artists of 19th century art, richly represented in the NGP collections. The visually impressive book shows him as a modern artist without the sentimentality of the 19th century and without the clichés of the 20th century. Are Mánes' works still alive? What does he bring of interest to us? And what do they say about the world of the century before last? We also focus on Mánes' lesser-known works, paintings, drawings or sketches, which fascinate with their richness of artistic approaches.

The title is published on the occasion of the artist's exhibition.
