Anna Zemánková
(Czech, 1908–1986)
Biography
As a young girl,
Anna Zemánková (Czech, 1908-1986), enjoyed drawing, yet gave up the hobby to pursue a career as a dental technician. She married a military officer and in 1948, she moved to Prague, where she devoted all of her time to raising her family. Later in life, she struggled with depression, but found an outlet for her mental pain in art. At the crack of dawn, she would paint in a trance-like state, therapeutically creating fantastical botanical images from her
imagination. Her series of surreal flowers was executed in paint, as well as in crocheted tissue paper.
