František Bílek

František Bílek is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Czech artist František Bílek made wooden sculptures with sharp edges and deep grooves, bending the material until it looks almost like fabric. His untitled photograph in this bundle shows the same precise lines and shadows. Working in the early 1900s, he carved figures that feel both solid and flexible, blurring the line between wood and movement. See how his hands shaped this woodblock into something that almost breathes next to the photograph Untitled.
