TAVIK FRANTISEK SIMON 1877 Zeleznice u Jicina - 1942 Prague Portrait of John Ruskin
1902, etching, 18.6 x 18 cm, signed lower right T.F. Simon, artist's remark, unframed Literature: Arthur Novak, Kronika grafickeho dila T.F. Simona, (Chronicle of graphic works) Prague 1937, no. 5 in the list of graphic works of art, Starting Price: CZK 6,500; USD 190; EUR 216, Estimated price: (7,000 - 8,000) CZK., T. F. Simon studied John Ruskin`s (1818 - 1900) ideas and work with great interest. This famous art and aesthetic theoretician and philosopher initiated a revival movement of craftsmanship and fine art in the 19th century. As a member of Pre-Raphaelites he stressed instincts and invention of a creative personality against superficial and empty academic stereotypes. This portrait belongs among the artist's first graphics, which have been preserved only in a few copies.
