Licensed replica: Pavel Janák: Jar Krystal small

Bohemia 1911, Manufacturer: Modernist, shop@modernista.cz

No other object captures Janák's early Cubist work better than this stylized crystal. The architect Janák saw the sloping surface as an element to control, artistically reshape and spiritualize dead matter; disrupting the calm and rational balance of horizontals and verticals. Reproduction of the original, housed in the UPM. Hand-decorated glazed porcelain cast. Smaller version.

Pavel Janák (1882 – 1956)

A versatile artist: architect, urban planner, designer and teacher, Pavel Janák was a leading theoretician of the Czech Cubist movement, a proponent of interwar Art Deco and radical Modernism embodied by Functionalism, but also the author of excellent reconstructions of important historical buildings.
