National Treasure: The Art of Joža Uprka

From the George T. Drost Collection, Embassy Edition.

The key characteristic of Joža Uprka, Moravian native’s art is a keen portrayal of life and traditions of the region he knew so well and loved. His portrayals come alive with light and color, and honest capture of the moments in rural life in a Moravian countryside. Anyone who appreciates art will be delighted to thumb through this catalog with excellent photography of Uprka’s best art pieces collected by George T. Drost, a Czech descendant and a successful Chicago lawyer. Publication was proudly sponsored by the Embassy of the Czech Republic in the U.S.
