Žabáček, 1982
The loveliness of the first sunny days of this late-coming Spring inspired me to post some pictures
from the gentle green worlds of Czech artist Jan Kudláček. Born in 1928 in Moravia and living in Prague,
Kudláček is a painter, graphic artist, and above all an award winning illustrator who since 1963
has published almost a hundred children's books. His distinctive style and brushwork technique
convey a vibrant and luminous quality to his joyful and poetic illustrations of nature,
flowers, small animals and fairytale creatures.
