Jaroslav Brožek

In addition to teaching, he has been researching the color theory, and lectured on this topic at several international conferences, e.g. in Lucerne, Dresden, and Stockholm.

In 1970, due to his expression of disagreement with the Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia he was forced to retire from the Faculty of Education at the Jan Evangelista Purkyně University in Ústí nad Labem.

Therefore, Jaroslav Brožek worked as a signwriter in the state company Repro in Trmice near Ústí nad Labem.

In 1990, after the Velvet Revolution, Jaroslav Brožek was rehabilitated, and returned to teach at the Jan Evangelista Purkyně University in Ústí nad Labem.

In addition to color theory, he devoted his time to regional historic sights and artists, writing many newspaper articles and a monograph Výtvarné Ústí, Kronika výtvarného života v Ústí nad Labem ve 20. století 1918 – 1998.
