Young Mother With Child

Josef Navrátil

Josef Navrátil - Young Mother With Child
Every motif prompted Navrátil, a born colourist, to look for and to find an adequate expression in colour. To express the innermost feelings of maternity Navrátil most fortunately chose a subdued palette of delicate tones with sensitive accents and soft modelling of forms. In the small painting he focused exclusively on the essential aspects of the subject, quite consciously casting away details and a description of the circumstances and of the environment.
