Hi, the name should read Karel Vítězslav Mašek (1865 - 1927). He was a Czech painter, a contemporary of Luděk Marold and Alfons Mucha. The last monography on his Symbolism and Art Nouveau paintings was published in 2002. tadmad
I feel that my mission with this blog is to share images from my morgue and collection, and not to necessarily be an encyclopedia of information regarding those images. Many of these images are in my life because of their impact on the senses, and related information had become superfluous. When I did have labels, they were quickly inscribed on the backs of images and were not always complete or accurate.
This particular image was originally sourced from an old German periodical and the text was beyond my ken to translate.
MY POINT IS, I welcome information of this sort from knowledgeable viewers and encourage it for the benefit of other visitors to this site. Where possible, I ask everyone to please do share as much info as is reasoonable.

My name is Thom Buchanan.
I'm an artist and photographer.
People are my favorite subjects to portray in art and photos. My wife (and studio partner) has called that my 'people skills', as I've been passionately creating portrait studies for many years.
I refer to myself as a pictorialist, a combination of image-making and journalist. Images are my life.

Yes, thank you. I have corrected the spelling.

Wow, that's fascinating! I'd never heard of Masek before.
