ALOIS BUBÁK
ISSUE OF THE COMMEMORATIVE STAMP
The Czech painter A. Bubák took his studies with M. Haushofer at the Academy in Prague. He taught drawing at the Business Academy and the Women College in Prague. His early works were based on the romantic landscape painting, in the later ones he left the ideal landscape schemes and sought the possibilities of his own, unrestrained expression. In the period of culmination of his creative life in the 1860s he worked on monumental paintings of his native Pojizeří region. The engraved version of the painting On the Outskirts of the Český Ráj Region is an example of this period of his creation. After he became seriously ill he limited his creations to illustrations published in the Světozor magazine.
