Pencil Sketch Photos Biography

Source(google.com.pk)
Marie Brozova was born on 11th of May in Prague, where she spent her happy and adventurous childhood. In the old and shabby Prague quarter, Zizkov, she learnt to see the beauty even in the peeling walls or splinters of a broken mirror scattered on the sidewalk reflecting the sky. She found there an entrance to the world of dreams and visions, which she is still allowed to visit as a source of her imagination.

When she was 13 she discovered colored pencilsand she has been using them since, as her favorite art technique. After high school she began to study illustration in Vaclav Hollar’s Art School, but she hadn’t found what she was looking for, and finally decided to leave. It took her two years to renew the joy of creativity and find courage for her free-lance vocation. At the time she began to present her work in individual exhibitions. See the section Exclusive Art Exhibitions.

Besides creating drawings, she works on thematic projects, for example complete sest of Tarot cards, calendars or drawn postcards of a series of Czech cities and towns. These drawings and reproductions can be seen and purchased in Sales Art Gallery MarieMAB.com, designed in Czech and English in 2003.

In 1998 she moved with her husband Martin Broz, who became the manager of her project, The Defense of Colored Pencils, from Prague to a small cottage surrounded by deep forests, where it is quiet enough for her to hear her own thoughts and be close to the sources of her inspiration.

They live with many cats, without television, fridge, running water or other devices, but in tune with nature. Inthe last few years they spent winters in different ciiesy or towns that inspired them (e.g. Czech Krumlov, Tabor, Kutna Hora).

In 2003 they lived for a short time in Cesky Krumlov, where Marie opened a small gallery of her own artworks in a historic house on the Castle stairs. The gallery was closed down in 2004 because of the deteriorating condition of the house.

In 2004, Marie started a long-term traveling project The Defense of Colored Pencils as the Art Medium, in which she decided to prove that colored pencils are not only a children’s to,y but a valuable art technique comparable with others, with which you can create an accomplished piece of art. Besides exhibitions, the main thrust of the project is the public drawing on the biggest format of paper available A0 (1189 by 841mm). In 2005, Marie created the largest drawing ever drawn in colored pencil, twice A0 formats large (1189 × 1682 mm). The Defense of Colored Pencils started in 2004 in Prague's Old Town Square, then followed in the Jindrisska Tower and the Black Rose Passage in Prague. In 2005 the project traveled all over the Czech Republic, and in 2006 it was invited abroad to Holland.

It is inscribed on the back, “Pencil Sketch of Fanny by her fiancé, Fred Görtelmeyer—June, 1882.” Görtelmeyer (1848-1882) was the best friend of Augustus Saint-Gaudens (1848-1907), the celebrated American sculptor, and was the son of Henry Görtelmeyer, a virtuoso oboist in New York and one of the founders of what would become the first Musicians’ Union in America. Fred studied in Paris with the famous painters Gérôme and Carolus-Duran; he exhibited at the National Academy Exhibition in NY in 1877 and became, according to Saint-Gaudens, an accomplished lithographer. Fred and Fanny never married as Fred died six months after drawing this portrait of his fiancée.
