Václav Turek (1924– 1988) was a professional Czechoslovak painter, graphic artist and sculptor. He created figurative themes and landscape paintings, with a polarization of opinion between abstraction and modern Realism (arts). His work, reflecting the climactic period of classical European and Czech modern painters, is distinctively tinged with a delicate atmosphere of cultivated diversity of colour and light. His works are considered an important part of the evolution of Czech modern art.
