Did you know? Mikuláš Galanda's work was often censored during the period of Socialist Realism in Czechoslovakia. His modern and expressive style was considered incompatible with the officially sanctioned artistic doctrine, which emphasized realistic depictions of socialist themes. Despite this suppression, Galanda's work continued to influence subsequent generations of Slovak artists and is now celebrated as a cornerstone of modern Slovak art.
