František Čermák - Sadness of a Quai in Prague, 1934

(Modernism in Central Europe - Exhibition at the Washington National Gallery)

I have to say that I'm in love with Prague. It is a strange city that pours in you a perverse fascination. Gustav Meyrink believed that the Golem was coming there every thirty tears, Jan Švankmajer met there Alice and Faust - I cannot be positive about; anyway some wizardry is there; perhaps an old puppeteer playing with magic and teasing the visitors. It was that puppeteer who left the carts on the photo, later they were no more.

The only information I found about František Čermák on the web was that his works are at the Moravská galerie v Brně.
