Václav Groul and his painting work

Václav Groul and his painting work The bachelor thesis will be devoted to Václav Groul's personality. It will focus on his artwork and try to explain his painting work. At first, the thesis introduces art brut and then summarizes the available facts from his life and work. Further it will illustrate possible sources of inspiration.

Václav Groula could have been interested in numerical symbolism and work with symbols appearing in some of his paintings. The aim of the thesis is to summarize factual information about his life, to interpret the work of this extraordinary author and to determine his position among other artists of art brut
