Antonin Frantisek Sthelík. Ink drawing "Landscape with House". Hand-signed. 1965. 33 x 45 cm. Showing signs of age. Possibly a landscape of Italy. Antonín František Stehlík (March 11, 1921, Hluboké Maščvky – August 28, 1989, Znojmo) was a Czech painter and journalist. His son was the painter and sculptor Jan Rostislav Stehlík. Antonín František Stehlík was born in 1921 in Hluboké Maššvky near Znojmo. He attended primary school in Hluboké Maššvky from 1928 to 1935 and then began an apprenticeship, which he completed in 1938. That same year, he attempted to enroll in the gymnasium in Moravské Budšjovice, but due to the deteriorating situation in the republic, he was unable to get there. Antonín Stehlík's family then moved to Třebíń, where his father owned an advertising agency, and Antonín began Artworking there as an assistant. However, after the outbreak of World War II, Antonín Stehlík was drafted for forced labor in Austria, Germany, and later France. He did not return to Czechoslovakia until 1945, and that same year he moved to Znojmo, where he married Otilie Fišerová. Between 1946 and 1950, he studied painting privately with František Šindeláč, a primary school teacher in Moravian Budějovice. In 1945, like his father, he also began Artworking as a journalist. Through his journalism, he met the art theorist Prokop Toman, who recommended him for private painting lessons with Otakar Nejedlý. He began studying with him around 1952 and continued until Nejedlý's death in 1957. In the so-called Toman Society, he met Vojtěch Sedláček, who influenced Antonín Stehlík's drawing techniques. In 1952, he also became friends with Petr Bezruč, a friendship that lasted until Bezruč's death. During their friendship, Antonín Stehlík created a collection of 120 drawings entitled "Bezruč's Moravian Landscapes." In 1973, he received the Max Švabinský Medal. In the mid-1950s, he also began painting and drawing scenes from his childhood and youth. In the 1960s, he visited Italy, Slovakia, and Russia on several occasions, trips that influenced his later Artwork. From the mid-1970s onward, he began painting and drawing professionally, and also painting scenes of South Moravia and the city of Znojmo. In 1991, he received honorary citizenship of Hluboké Mašąvky.
