An excerpt from the introductory word by Milan Hlaveš:
Glass arts and crafts have brought international fame to the Czech lands at least since the Middle Ages. In this region, countless amazing and world-famous items have been created for purpose and pleasure. Thousands of unknown and renowned artists, craftsmen, teachers, traders, and investors have contributed to this. The last century was no different in this respect. Society changed rapidly under the influence of revolutionary and often fateful political, economic, and social events, but the tradition of glassmaking persisted. Among the many artists who participated in its development and continuation, several artists stood out whose artwork was significant for the future. With their talent, diligence and ability to take advantage of their education, experience, and naturally also thanks to the favorable circumstances they could benefit from, these artists significantly enriched the history of Czech glass. This representative monograph focuses on one of them – Vladimír Procházka.
