🎉135 years since the birth of Josef Šíma.

🎨 Josef Šíma ranks among the most significant figures in 20th-century Czech and European modern painting. His work emerged between Prague and Paris, between painting and poetry, between reality and imagination 🌍📖

✨His work continues to inspire art historians, curators, and viewers to this day. Šíma’s body of work—blending painting, poetry, and philosophy—remains one of the most remarkable contributions of Czech art to European modernism.

This article is part of the Anniversaries series, in which we commemorate significant figures in Czech culture and public life. We share the stories of those who shaped Czech culture both at home and abroad 🇨🇿🌐

📸 The photograph of Šíma was taken by Stanislav Kovář

🇨🇿 November 17 – Struggle for Freedom and Democracy Day

Today, the Czech Republic marks November 17, a day honoring those who stood up for freedom, democracy, and human rights.
It commemorates the student protests of 1939 against the N**i occupation and the Velvet Revolution of 1989, which brought an end to communist rule.
