Prague City Gallery is launching the long-awaited reissue of the essential anthology František Bílek (1872–1941), which accompanied his major retrospective at the Prague Castle Riding School in 2000. This updated and expanded monograph, consisting of expert studies, lists of works, and a detailed biography and bibliography by leading art historians and theorists, provides hitherto the most comprehensive view of the life and work of this extraordinary artist of Art Nouveau symbolism and mysticism, who encompassed a wide range of artistic forms from sculpture and architecture to drawing, prints and arts and crafts. This extensive and richly illustrated book has been published with the support of the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic.
