Located in Prague's New Town on the Vltava River and underneath the imposing rocks of Vyšehrad is the Cubist Kovarovic Villa.
This gorgeous structure by Czech architect Josef Chochol is a shining example of Cubist architecture in the Bohemian lands, inspired by the classic Cubist works of Braque and Picasso. This is a must see for lovers of architecture – not only is the villa a textbook example of Cubist architecture, but so are the colorful flowerbeds, the garden layout itself, the surrounding wrought iron fence, the steps to the villa, etc.
The author of this painting is Karel Stolar. Karel Stolar is the book illustrator who is dedicated to creating drawings sights. You can find this painting in book 'Pražské domy vyprávejí VIII.'
This book is one of a twelve-part series of books describing structural changes and the development of cultural-historical monuments of Prague (houses, villas and palaces, library, banks, school, museum, hospital, farm, etc.).

Kubistická vila v Praze 2. Josef Chochol se proslavil zejména jako autor radikálních kubistických staveb pod Vyšehradem. Kubistická vila v Libušine ulici pro stavitele a majitele nemovitostí ing. Bedricha Kovarovice predstavuje dum trítraktové dispozice s durazem predevším na dynamiku prucelí, které se melo za pozorovatelem, procházejícím kolem, jakoby otácet.
