Stanislava Cervenkova Midcentury Czech Illustrator
August 15, 2014
I discovered this charming work by Czech Illustrator Stanislava Cervenkova. Sadly there isn’t anything written about her that I can find online. There are many different styles of illustration that she created and this is definitely my favourite.
Her work is dated in the late 50’s/ early 1960, such calm, yet colourful work.
Great use of check fabric in these coats.
This book is dated 1962 and looks to be about working life in the countryside .
More work in a very different style again. Bold bright colours and defined lines around shapes.
If anyone knows anymore about this artist then please let me know.

You are talking about “her”, Stanislava Cervenkova is a womans name 🙂
Oops thanks Jan, well that’s me off to a good start ! Pity there isn’t even a small biography written about her, I would have had a little more to go on.
I love the VW Bug!
Yes…. we can see why it’s called a VW Beetle ! as it looks like a little bug lol
Hello, I’ve recently discovered this blog post as I love everything mid-century, books and illustrations inclusive. I actually own a copy of “Ivana na prodej” book. Used condition, without the original cover unfortunately…..All of the illustrations inside the book are fine. Would you be interested?
Kind regards,
Marcela
