The Painter-Philosopher Augustin Ságner (1891-1946) — Museum and Gallery of Orlické Mountains, Rychnov nad Kněžnou

An exhibition commemorating the 135th anniversary of the birth and 80th anniversary of the death of the painter-philosopher from Kostelec nad Orlicí. Ságner was a member of Skupina Kvart (1935), the only association of abstractly-oriented artists of that era in Czechoslovakia. The artist sought new ways of artistic representation beyond the boundaries of mere reality.
