Helena Emingerová – Graphic Art

6 October 2026 – 17 January 2027

The Graphic Arts Cabinet presents the work of the artist Helena Emingerová (1858–1943) through the prints she produced from the second half of the 1890s. Already a respected and experienced portraitist at the time, Emingerová discovered a new medium in graphic art – a medium through which she could further develop her sensitivity for depicting people and everyday life. The selection of prints not only introduces the artist’s oeuvre through socially themed motifs and portraits of ordinary people as well as prominent figures of contemporary cultural and artistic life but also offers a view into the very beginnings of modern Czech graphic art from the perspective of a female artist.

Venue: Trade Fair Palace, 4th floor, in the exhibition 1796–1918: Art of the Long Century

Curator: Kamila Červinková
