Description
The Adria Palace in the New Town in Prague is an important modernist building. It has a Cubist facade and a huge sculptural group on the ledge of the parapet, you can see here. The building was one of the centres of the Velvet Revolution in 1989. It was built by Pavel Janak in 1925, and it is an unusually late example of integrated sculpture.
Sharp points, slicing planes, crystalline shapes. These are the trademarks of the Czech Cubists – a unique, avant-garde group, feverishly active in Prague between 1910 and 1914. As well as fine art, they left behind them building facades prickling with little pyramids, furniture bursting with energy, and decorative objects dynamized with stark black lines.
Thank you for your kind comments.

Ciao Sandra sto mettendo tra i fav. questa più l'ultima che ho visto prima della mia assenza così posso ritornare a guardare e leggermi con calma le tue storie sempre molto interessanti. Bellissima rielaborazione fotografica. :)
Reminiscent of Greek and Roman reliefs. Wonderful capture. Thank you for the history.
Great job on this!
beautiful photo and wonderful capture sandra..

You won't see building decorations like this in any other city. Prague is unique in it's artistic accomplishments.
Wow, is there a building in Prague that isn't decorated?
Wonderfully done!
Una splendida lavoro, cara Sandra !!!!!!!! 5* Ciao Karin :)
magnificent photo!
This is beautifully stunning. I love the postwork you've done here; it's so perfectly integrated with the Czech Cubist lines of this great building. I wish that Czech Cubism caught on elsewhere! Hmmm...I wonder if it did? This is great work, as always!
Fantastic capture and post work. Love it!
they seem to dance around the edges of the building, another wonderful shot!
great shot and work!
