A showcase of artworks by Jan Kutálek, who was born in Prague on 20 July, 1917. After studying painting and sculpture, he concentrated exclusively on ceramics from 1940, when he discovered the creative possibilities of clay. From the very beginning he worked on figural ceramics and found his own means of expression in a synthesis of plastic shape and colour. In the thirty years of his creative work Jan Kutálek has become one of the most prominent personalities of Czech modern ceramics.
