Finally, the last post of this series for now! I hope it was a feast, because this last installment is about food. It's difficult to find a typical Czech speciality. Personally, I never discovered anything I could describe as a typical Czech dish. It was often the way the dish was served (I'll never forget that huge piece of meat. It was like the land of plenty.).
I know there probably will be some Austrians gathering Mozart Balls to throw at me, though I went with Dumplings for this one.

Today you can feed yourselves on the combination of the Českomoravský fotbalový svaz flag with Vepřo knedlo zelo. Mijam!

Pilars soft spot

The same thing I said when I "joked" about puppets in this series of Czech football players cold be said about toys. You know, like they are for children and so on. But they appear to be very useful if the building for the Institute of Macromolecular Chemistry is still under construction. At least all of you who wear soft lens can be thankful that a Czech chemist used Merkur to invent them.

May you see todays combination of Vaclav Pilar with Otto Wichterle!

Sivok, the one who is ridding the iron horse

What do Native Americans and cars have in common?
You're right, the Czech Republic!

May I drive up todays combination of Tomas Sivok with Škoda.

the Rosicky of Prague

I hope Rabbi Jehuda ben Bezal´el Löw doesn't send the big guy after me now because of that, but this and Franz Kafka are both no-brainers if you want to come up with something related to the Czech Republic.
May I bring to life without rituals and Hebrew incantations todays combination of Tomas Rosicky with the Golem of Prague.

a boney Pekhart

Monks do strange things, they live in solitude and pray to a transcendental being thats supposed to sit somewhere above us and plays with us the perpetual check game.
Sometimes monks build a chapel out of human bones...
...No, they don't. František Rint did. So, if you ever go to Czech Republic I suggest you'd take a trip to Kutná Hora an visit kostnice Sedlec.

Though, for now you'll have to feed your eyes on the combination of Thomas Pekhart with Schwarzenberg coat-of-arms,

a retrograde Gebreselassie

Puppets are for children. Puppets cannot bring adults to lough. And, they are never gonna be as famous that somebody would think of dedicating a theatre to them. It's ridiculous to even think so!

No, it's not. May my puppet mastery put the combination of Theodor Gebreselassie with Spejbl and Hurvínek on stage.

Rossum's Universal Hubnik

What would most science fiction films be without robots. Imagine "Terminator" without the Terminator? Thanks to the brothers Josef Čapek and Karel Čapek you don't have to.
Today my non-artificial being presents to you the combination of Roman Hubnik with R.U.R. (Rossumovi univerzální roboti).

General Czech

buyer Baros

I admit, this is rather a difficult one and seemingly aimed at film nerds. However, it originates from a libretto by Karel Sabina that was first turned into an opera by Bedřich Smetana and later on into a movie by the great Max Ophüls.
Today I show you the combination of Milan Baros with Prodaná nevěsta (The Sold Bride).

Pan Kadlec

Today I'll evoke the childhood memories of many german speaking (as well as those of the czech speaking ones of course) people who grew up watching this TV serial. No, not the A-Team, but rather "Pan Tau (Mr. Tau)".
May I present you the combination of Michal Kadlec with Pan Tau,

Jaroslav Forman

Today it's the combination of Jaroslav Prasic with Miloš Forman. More precisely, with his czech movie "Hoří, má panenko (The Fireman's Ball)",

the czechs are coming!

Starting today with Jan Rezek, I'll post a series of portraits throughout these following days that I did. The guys portrayed in these monotypes are members of the national Czech Republic soccer/football team which will be playing at the European Championship in Poland/Ukraine this year. I illustrated them for a sticker album to be published by Tschuttiheftli who is going to give a large part of its proceeds to the charity Viva con Agua.
Personally, I wanted to combine each portrait with a czech related cultural object or to reference some of it in some kind of way.

Today is an easy one, as I combined Jan Rezek with Becharovka.

-------------------------------

As you may have noticed, it's not the first one I've posted here. I previously showed you Michal Bilek whom I combined with the Crown of Saint Wenceslas.
