There are s few tiny flakes of paint chipped off the canvas which can be professionally restored on request. While a student, Franz lived at a family with children. He allowed them to use his art supplies and encouraged them to express themselves. He was impressed by their creativity, and showed the work to fellow artists at the university, who encouraged him to start an art school for children. The Juvenile Art Classes were free of charge to children of Vienna. His teaching encouraged imagination and free expression. Among those Cižek influenced was Swiss painter and Bauhaus leader Johannes Itten, well known for his theory of color.

By Bela Kadar
Located in New York, NY
Painting by Bela Kadar Bela Kadar was born in Hungary in 1877. Amongst his early interests was mural painting.
