Biography
Biography
Alois Kalvoda studied at Academy of Fine Arts, Prague. Training under Julius Mařák is recorded. Places of work recorded in the authority are Brno. Work by Alois Kalvoda is recorded in the collections of Slovak National Gallery, Bratislava City Gallery, Liptov Gallery of Peter Michal Bohúň, Moravian Gallery in Brno and National Gallery Prague.
Kalvoda was born in Šlapanice near Brno, the eighth of ten children.[1] He attended the gymnasium in Brno and then studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague for five years, 1892–1897, with Julius Mařák.[2] In 1900 a scholarship allowed him to study in Paris, from where he moved to Munich in 1901. His time in Munich is credited with broadening his experience of contemporary trends.[3] He first exhibited in Prague in 1901, and in 1902 exhibited at the Mánes Union of Fine Arts. He opened an art school in Prague in 1900, where his students included Josef Váchal. He moved this school in 1917 to a castle he had purchased in Běhařov. In 1907, he was one of the founding members of the Association of Moravian Artists. He was married first to Anna Fastrová (1905–1929) and then to Božena Peloušková (from 1933).

Paintings
Kalvoda's paintings focused on Czech landscapes. His style was initially marked by Mařák, then by naturalism, with an inclination towards Art Nouveau symbolism. From 1907 his painting became increasingly impressionist. He received some twenty separate domestic exhibitions and was also exhibited in Vienna, Berlin, Warsaw, Rome, Paris, Saint Louis, and Pittsburgh. His 1936 posthumous exhibition in Prague consisted of 110 works. • Illustration — Cottage • Illustration — Birches • Illustration — Cottages • Illustration — View of St.Anthony
