Ludvik Kuba Biography

(b podebrady, 16 april 1863; d prague, 30 nov 1956). czech painter. he trained initially as a musician, entering the prague academy of fine arts in 1890. he studied under maximilián pirner from 1890 to 1893, and between 1893 and 1895 at the académie julian in paris. he completed his studies at anton azbe’s school in munich, which was attended by many slavs. kuba’s interest in slav folklore dates from this period. from 1904 till 1911 he lived mostly in vienna, where he was active on behalf of the hagenbund association of artists. kuba preferred to paint his surroundings and people close to him (e.g. among the roses , 1906; prague, n.g.); he also worked on a series of self-portraits throughout his life (examples from 1899 to the 1930s, prague, n.g.). in spite of his association with national-ethnographic czech art, his painting was much influenced by the traditions of naturalism and the expressionistic development of late impressionism—in other words, by the traditions of the broader european environment in which he moved. after an initial period of social and exhibition activity he mainly lived in seclusion, devoting himself to establishing a collection of slav folk-songs and ethnographica (breznice castle). as a painter he achieved recognition later than some of his contemporaries, but he retained his reputation until the end of his life.
