Břetislav Štorm: Knights, Dragons and Pilgrims

Evening in tribute to a major figure in Czech 20th-century culture, Břetislav Štorm (1907–1961), who was an architect, fine artist, book designer, prose writer, heraldry expert, liturgist, journalist and founder of Czech monument care. The event is being held in connection with the publication of an extensive anthology of his work entitled Rytíři, draci a poutníci (Knights, Dragons and Pilgrims). Štorm was a frequent collaborator of publisher Ladislav Kuncíř and was a good friend of Karel Schwarzenberg. The evening will be helmed by the collection’s editor, Jan Šulc, with the main part dedicated to a projection of unique photographs of Štorm’s visual art taken by his grandson František Štorm.
