An expressive and monumental modernist painting by Czech artist Urbanek, executed in Prague in 1963. This oil on canvas captures a group of young swimmers and rowers at a lakeside summer camp — a vivid and nostalgic scene rendered in a distinctly Central European post-cubist style. The artist’s composition, with its elongated figures, faceted brushstrokes, and vibrant interplay of blue, green, and ochre tones, reflects the influence of interwar avant-garde movements such as Czech Cubism and Social Realist Modernism, yet reinterpreted through the freer artistic atmosphere of the early 1960s. The scene is animated with light and motion — swimmers poised on the dock, others diving or conversing — creating a rhythmic harmony of form and color. Signed and dated lower right Urbanek 63, this impressive canvas measures 262 cm wide by 162 cm high (103.1 in × 63.8 in). Presented in its original wooden frame, the painting remains in authentic, unrestored condition, showing minor signs of age that enhance its character and history. A remarkable statement piece ideal for large interiors, galleries, or hospitality spaces. Provenance: Private collection, Czech Republic. Dimensions: H 162 cm × W 262 cm (63.8 in × 103.1 in) Original frame included. Condition: Good, original unrestored condition with natural patina and light surface wear consistent with age. See less
