Curator and art historian Helena Capkova will talk about a rich and diverse design work of architect, stage designer and painter Bedrich Feuerstein, with a focus on his American research trip and its outcomes.Bedrich Feuerstein (1892-1936) was an influential member of the Czechoslovak and European avant-garde of the interwar period. He was a cosmopolitan figure, always on the move seeking inspiration and inspiring the rich network of his collaborators. He spent two years at the Perrets' atelier in Paris and four years working with Antonin Raymond in Japan. The key project of his career developed for Raymond was the St. Luke's Hospital in Tokyo. As part of the design process, Feuerstein visited the US and studied the most progressive hospitals, such as the Presbyterian and Mt. Sinai in New York City.
