Called "Snow Ivan", German painter and graphic artist who became known especially for his depictions of the Krkonoše Mountains. "Most of his works show snowy landscapes or thawing snow. And that's probably what people appreciate most: how he managed to paint as if the snow were crunching underfoot. He has managed to get the white so that it is not just white, but snow-white. And that's how he gave these pictures this special atmosphere. You see the Giant Mountains as people know them." (Curator and collector Peter Bergmann on FI, 2020).
