| Description | The following study depicts two relationships between artists, who contribute to the deepening of the inter-relationships between The France and The Bohemia. The first example is the meetings of the French diplomat, poet and playwright Paul Claudel; that was at the beginning of the 20th century consul in Prague, with a famous Czech artist Zdenka Braunerova. Their cooperation allowed better understanding of the Czech art in France and at the same time the French literature in The Bohemia. The second couple of artists have met thanks to Josef Florian, the most original publisher of the first half of the 20th century and his publishing company Good work, where translations of modern German, English and French literature were published. The poet and graphic artist Bohuslav Reynek translated for him. Reynek was very impressed by the collection Ta vie est la (Here is your life) by Suzanne Renaud, an unknown poet from Grenoble. Friendship, which connected The France and The Bohemia, arised. |
