A beautiful painting from this listed French Artist. Véronique Menault-Mirande, "Zdenek Grunt (1919-1987)", editions Gallart, Angers, July 2002 (Monograph and Catalog of his Painted Work.) "Disciple of Nicolas de Stael, this painter of Czech origin with an eventful life shared his life between France and the United States, leaving us a rich, yet unrecognized work." "Widely unknown about Zdenek Grunt is a man who chronicled his life by completing the first plane hijacking at the start of the Cold War." (French language reference http://www.visuelimage.com/ch/tcheque/print/text7.htm) He hijacked (or borrowed) a plane from the Russian invaded Czechoslovakia and flew to freedom in France in 1949. After working as an apprentice with Nicolas de Stael in Paris, who became friendly with him because of their similar histories and lives, Zdenek Grunt spent the rest of his life painting and traveling between the US, Mexico and France.
