Girl with Absintem

At the dawn of the 20th century, Stefan pioneered groundbreaking motifs in socially conscious art - women engaging in everyday routines, sports, and motoring themes (Mother Cares for Baby, 1924, Tire Repair, 1924). His vibrant polychrome sculpture crafted from burnt clay, Girl with Absinthe (1924, National Gallery), exemplifies an aesthetic approach to poeticism. In Paris, Stefan was captivated by primitive art and brought back African masks originating from Liberia and Cote d'Ivoire (a photograph taken by J. Sudek). Alongside architect Josef Havlicek, he designed guiding columns for the Czechoslovak border in 1924, which were later installed at key border crossings.
