Dusan Kadlec was born in Czechoslovakia in 1942. He pursued his interest in art from an early age, ultimately studying at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague where he received a Masters Degree in 1967. While a student at the Academy, he specialized in figurative painting and portraiture. The composition of his paintings reflects the tradition of the great European masters, and embodies the Romantic Classicism that is a nineteenth century academic trademark. Upon graduation, his artistic ability was recognized immediately and he began to exhibit and receive both private and state commissions. |
