These are some amazing works, and also eclectic! Here and there, he kind of shows some influences from Chagall (which I love) in terms of shapes and colors, I would say.
I knew him as a stop-motion cartoonist, not so much as an illustrator and painter. Can you suggest any good printed source?

Thanks for sharing!

Aldo

Trinka is the master! When I was in Prague, it was very difficult to find DVD’s of his work, or of any classic Czech animation in general. But in Tokyo I was able to find anything and everything! As near as I can determine, the Japanese passion for Czech animation is a result of the fact that the greatest Japanese stop-motion animator, Kawamoto Kihachiro, had been a student of Trinka’s.
