Don’t Give Up: All Around Me Lives and Feels Like Me

Don’t Give Up: All Around Me Lives and Feels Like Me

Karel Čtveráček / Czech Republic / 2017 / 26 min.


synopsis

Painter, wood-carver, typesetter, printer, writer, and poet Josef Váchal was one of the most distinctive artists of the 20th century. He left behind an extensive body of work, in which his monumental book – a kind of modern codex devoted to his great love, the Bohemian Forest – holds a remarkable place. With The Bohemian Forest: Dying, Romantic, the inveterate wanderer and pilgrim Josef Váchal offers an enduring testemony of the ancient face of the Bohemian Forest and its inimitable and disappearing beauty.
