About the artwork: This painting of a "Vodník" (waterman) represents the essence of his approach to art and is one of the most widespread depictions he ever created. The painting dates to 1942a year that was highly important for Lada from an artistic point of view. He devoted himself to themes related to melancholynight and the tearful atmosphere that extends into this work with a precisely thought-out compositional structure. "Vodník" smoking a pipe and sitting on a "revived" willow with a lonely cottage in the back is illuminated both from the front and the back by the Moon. Behind the hut extends a shaded and undulating background of dense and dark forest with ruins on a hill. The composition ends with the night skywhich is again illuminated by the Moon and partially hidden by clouds. Lada was able to bring a strong sensuality to his workwhich is enhanced by such a detail as a trickling drop from "Vodník's" green coat. About the artist: Josef Lada is one of the most important Czech artistswhose fame has gone beyond the borders of the Czechoslovakia already in the interwar period (e.g.the high praise from Pablo Picasso).
