Jaroslav Matouš: Glass Objects

Duration of the exhibition: October – December 1999 – Jaroslav Matous, born in 1941, studied at Prague School of Applied Arts in the glass studio of the famous Prof. Stanislav Libensky. During the 11 years since the foundation of Glasgalerie Hittfeld the friends of contemporary glass art have been able to look at the objects of many outstanding artists. However, most of these artists work with glass in the sculptural way which is typcial for the Czech glass scene. Therefore Jaroslav Matous’ techniques as a painter constitute quite a difference.
