Triptycha
Text by Noel Cramer from:
"The Art of Ludek Pesek"
Ludek Pesek painted a series of large (almost 3 m wide) triptychs in his later years. Homage to Magritte was done in the nineties following a visit by the artist to a Magritte exhibition in Paris. The leopard on the Kilimanjaro was inspired by the story of the frozen leopard discovered near the summit of the mountain in 1926 by the Pastor Richard Reusch, and immortalised in the introduction to Hemingway's Snows of Kilimanjaro.
