ABOUT Michal Vitanovský:



The name Vitanovský evokes memories of the Bohemian Baroque, for a portrait exists of a young aristocrat, Ignatius Vitanovský of Vlčkovice, by one of Bohemia's most famous painters of the time, Karel Skreta. Michal Vitanovský entered the profession of sculptor at the beginning of the 1970s, after he had completed his studies at the College of Applied Art in Prague in 1971. He decided to devote his talents to medals after his work had been accepted both for the exhibition, The contemporary Bohemian medal, held in Prague in 1974, and for the Czechoslovak contribution to the international FIDEM exhibition in Cracow one year later. In addition, cast medals and plaques were not subject to restrictions by the authorities as to their subject and expression to the same degree as larger sculptures, and even artists who were otherwise prevented from exhibiting usually had their works 'passed' for medallic exhibitions both at home and abroad.
