Veletrzni Palace
The Czech National Art Gallery displays its art works at six main galleries in Prague. The Modern and Contemporary art collection is at Veletrzni Palace (Trades Fair Palace) which is a 4 floor Functionalist building built in the late 1920's. You pay by the floor, NanJan and I did two floors: C19th Czech on the fourth floor and Czech Art 1900-1930/C19th-C20th French Art on the third floor.
The Czech artists were obviously influenced by the styles that were popular throughout the rest of western Europe - Fauvism, Cubism and Impressionism in particular. One of my favourite Czech artist from the day was Frantisek Kupka(1871-1957) , in particular 'Ballad: Joys of Life'.
