{"id":14656,"count":0,"description":"Ludmila Kleinmondov\u00e1, also known as Ludmila Janovsk\u00e1-Kleinmondov\u00e1 (February 10, 1870, Sm\u00edchov near Prague \u2013 1955, Prague), was a Czech painter and painting instructor, and a member of the Krasoumn\u00e1 jednota and Um\u011bleck\u00e1 beseda art societies.\n\nBorn the third of four children to tinsmith and metal craftsman Rudolf Kleinmond and his wife Gabriela, Ludmila grew up surrounded by skilled craftsmanship. She attended the Women\u2019s Production Association school in Prague, where her mother was active. Later, from 1887 to 1894, she studied painting and drawing at the Prague School of Applied Arts under Professor Schikaneder, and she was among the first female graduates, though she was not allowed to participate in life drawing of male figures.\n\nSoon after graduating, Kleinmondov\u00e1 became a member of Krasoumn\u00e1 jednota and exhibited at its annual exhibitions. Specializing in still life and floral paintings, she created works such as \"Z\u00e1ti\u0161\u00ed s ovocem\" (Still Life with Fruit), \"Azalky\" (Azaleas), and \"R\u016f\u017ee\" (Roses). She married academic painter Jan Karla Janovsk\u00fd, with whom she traveled throughout the Adriatic. In 1926, they opened a private painting school in Sm\u00edchov. Her daughter, Ludmila Janovsk\u00e1 (* 1907), also became a painter.\n\nKleinmondov\u00e1\u2019s preferred subjects were still life, flowers, and fruit, working in two stylistic approaches: a free, loose style and a classical realism inspired by 17th-century Dutch masters. From 1895, she regularly exhibited with the Um\u011bleck\u00e1 beseda, and her piece \"Hyacinty\" (Hyacinths) was selected for an album of modern Czech painters in 1902, widely distributed for school decoration and art instruction.\n\nOn travels to Slovenia, Croatia, and the Adriatic, she documented Slavic folk customs and produced a series of costume studies for the album \"Austro-Hungarian Types.\" She also collected antique folk artifacts, some of which were acquired by the Prague Ethnographic Museum. In 1895, she served on the organizing committee for the Ethnographic Exhibition of the Czechoslovaks.","link":"https:\/\/collection.galerie-gerdes.com\/en\/c\/artist-en-2\/ludmila-kleinmondova-en\/","name":"Ludmila Kleinmondov\u00e1","slug":"ludmila-kleinmondova-en","taxonomy":"product_cat","parent":1857,"meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/collection.galerie-gerdes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat\/14656","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/collection.galerie-gerdes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/collection.galerie-gerdes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/product_cat"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/collection.galerie-gerdes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat\/1857"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/collection.galerie-gerdes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product?product_cat=14656"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
