Leonard Rotter

In 1914—1917 he studied sculpture at the School of Applied Arts in Prague under the guidance of professors Ludvík Wurzel, Štěpán Zálešák, and Josef Drahoňovský, where he focused on portraits and busts.

[6] Since the beginning of his artistic career, free creation has remained the core of his work - he created a number of smaller sculptures with philosophical themes such as Eternal Question, Life and Love, Desire, Twilight, and others.

Later, it was requested by Bělá pod Bezdězem and relocated further from the lake on top of Hůrka, where it remains until today, although the locality does not have the original context to the Society's intent.

In 1937, his 2.5 meter-high clay sculpture of a blacksmith was installed on the front of the house of a famous Czech engineer, Emil Kolben, at his residence in Břevnov at the street Na Vypichu (today's Bělohorská No.

In the late thirties (1930s), Leonard Rotter embraced the technique of watercolour, as the demand of plastic art generally declined due to the difficult war times.
