ArmInfo. Exhibition of works by Czech artist and designer Karel Zeman has opened in Yerevan History Museum. Karel Zeman, namesake of famous Czech animator and film director, has shown great interest in numismatics and philately since teenager years and has devoted himself to design of coins, medals and stamps. The work of the leading Czech artist Karel Zeman is admirable not only because of its scope. Whether you think of his postage stamps, engravings or book illustrations, his works always captivate by their perfect craft execution in which beauty combines with wit. These attributes apply also to Zeman's work on medals. The restricted nature of the bas-relief represents a dimension, which allows his sense for detail, composition and also for action to stand out remarkably.
A native from Brno (next door to the Battle of Austerlitz site), Karel Zeman loves history, in particular the period of Napoleonic Wars. This lifelong interest has brought him to a membership in a club of military history and together with this club he takes part in battle re-enactments all over Europe. He has been interested in numismatics since childhood, not only did he collect coins but he also made tin castings of his own ideas. At the age of eighteen he made a medal featuring Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte and the mint in Kremnica actually minted this medal two years later. The artist is prizewinner of numerous international contests and exhibitions.
The exhibition in Yerevan History Museum has been organized by the Czech Republic's Embassy in Armenia and will last till October 27.
