Monograph accompanying the exhibition of the same name, tracing the image of the artist as a smoker from the Baroque to the interwar period.

The monograph accompanying the exhibition of the same name offers an unconventional view of Czech modern art. It introduces a constantly topical and attractive theme, such as the modern artist and his work. It traces the motif of the artist as a smoker from the Baroque to the interwar period, focusing particularly on art from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. Important Czech artists such as Jan Preisler, Emil Filla, František Kupka and Bohumil Kubišta were captured in their self-portraits with smoking attributes. What made them abandon the traditional image of the painter with palette and brush? And what did this stylisation say about the transformation of their position in society and their concept of artistic creation? The theme is complemented by an international context.
