Jiří Trnka


Jiri Trnka, has since I discovered his works, been a strong inspiration on where to search, in my own artistic choices. 
Hope by sharing a little about one of the great Czech artist in modern time, that this will transcend into new inspiration and great art out there!

The Hungarina Artist Willy Pogany (Vilmos Andreas Pogány):

 The Fox and the Crow is a witty and humorous story that is joyful tale to tell children. Giving a sneaky voice to the Fox as it is a smart animal and make the Crow really proud of its not so beautiful voice.

The important learn in The Fox and the Crow is to pass knowledge to children about flattery.
