Herbert Masaryk

After displaying an early talent for painting, he studied in Prague, Florence (1900–1901) and Antwerp (1901–1902), but remained largely self-taught.

[1] He was influenced by Impressionism, Expressionism, the Vienna Secession and the fairy tale illustrations of Hanuš Schwaiger.

[2] He was a good amateur hockey player in his youth, and played for HC Slavia Praha from 1900 to 1901, during its first season.

[2] He died of typhus; apparently contracted while working with Galician war refugees in Borová and Polička.

Many of these were probably lost just after his death when his sister, Alice, was arrested by the Austrian government and her property was seized in an effort to discover hidden political writings by their father.
