Recently, with the German general manager of the company Bata, I attended an unofficial exhibition of the Moravian artists' association, which was organized by the art school of the Bata company, before the opening. I was able to convince myself that no excesses were tolerated, that in particular the public morality had been taken very much into account, but that a considerable number of works were put on display, which had been rejected by us because of their perverse painting technique. What was good was followed by the German school, as well as French and Jewish influences. The exhibiting artists' association only receives Moravians, but they are mostly active in Prague. It is evident that the greater German blood impact in Moravia arouses artistic instincts that are rare in Bohemia. The artist's assessment of his own works of art is just too childish. They confuse cause and effect.
