ZDENEK RYKR (1900-1940) PRAHA. Circa 1935. 37 1/4x24 1/4 inches, 94 1/2x61 1/2 cm. Melantrich, Prague. Condition A. Largely a self-taught artist, Rykr was a set designer at the National Theatre in Prague, an illustrator, painter, journalist and graphic designer. Out of all of his work, he is best remembered for his package designs for Orion, a Czech chocolate company, as well as corporate designs for Palaba, Bata and Skoda. His style varied from Surrealism to Cubism and, here, assumes a soft, ethereal quality in depicting the bridges over Prague's Vltava river at twilight.
