CURATOR'S TIP: This intimate still life by Willy Horný represents the type of painting collectors appreciate for its authentic atmosphere and painterly quality. Rich colours, expressive brushwork and a distinctive artistic personality make this work particularly appealing. At the starting price of CZK 2,000, it offers an excellent opportunity to acquire an original authenticated artwork at an accessible level. Created in the 1960s, “Still Life with Glass and Fruit” is a fine example of Willy Horný's painterly approach. The composition features a glass, apples and pears arranged on a tabletop against a deep blue-green background. The contrast between the cool background tones and the warm colours of the fruit creates remarkable visual tension and depth. Energetic brushwork and vibrant colour application lend the painting spontaneity and expressive power. Special attention is given to reflections on the glass and the subtle modelling of individual forms. The work successfully transforms an ordinary still-life subject into a captivating visual experience. Executed in oil on board, the painting measures 19 × 33 cm. It is signed by the artist in the lower right corner. Authenticity has been consulted with an art expert. The painting originates from an important private Prague collection acquired through inheritance and has been carefully preserved. It remains in excellent condition and represents an attractive opportunity for collectors of post-war Czech art and expressive still-life painting.
