Today’s famous birthday (born on this date in 1890) was a painter, graphic artist, and illustrator.
Jan Zrzavý was born in Bohemia, but now his birthplace is part of Czechia, aka Czech Republic.
Zrzavý was part of the modernism art movement, but he was also influenced by Medieval art. In 1965 he was honored with the title National Artist.
