Václav Boštík

Václav Boštík (6 November 1913 – 7 May 2005) was a Czech painter, graphic artist and illustrator.

In 1937 he joined the Academy in Prague and from 1942, he was a member of the Umělecká beseda (Art Forum).

Due to the limited possibilities of exhibitions in Czechoslovakia, he also worked as a restorer and book illustrator.

Among other things, he participated in the restoration of Renaissance artistic work on the facade of Litomyšl castle.

Shortly before his death, in 2004 he received an award from the Minister of Culture and in the same year Medal of Merit from the President of the Czech Republic[1].
