Biographical / Historical:
Czech-born painter, printmaker, and educator Jan Matulka (1890-1972) was one of the pioneers of American modernist painting during the 1920s and 1930s.

Matulka emigrated to the United States from Bohemia in 1907 and studied at the National Academy of Design from 1911-1916. He subsequently taught at the Art Students League and passed on his understanding of avant garde developments in progressive painting to a generation of important artists including Francis Criss, Dorothy Dehner, Burgoyne Diller, I. Rice Pereira, and David Smith.
Separated Materials:
The Archives of American Art also holds microfilm of material that was part of Matulka's donation including clippings, exhibition notices, and miscellany. This material was microfilmed on Reel D251 and was transferred to the Smithsonian American Art Museum for the museum's vertical files and is not described in the collection container inventory.
Provenance:
The collection was donated by Jan Matulka in 1966.
