Hanák freed himself of the compulsory realism during the 1950s and chose a path towards symbolism, which helped him achieve a respected creative status in the 1960s.

Mimo olejomaleb, datovaných od 18. až do 20. století, a 2 sochařských děl, se zde nacházely kresby české provenience převážně z 19. století. Komorní výstava se koná v Kabinetu grafiky.

Vlastislav Hofman and the Czech Cubist avant-garde in Ostrava
Galerie výtvarného umění v Ostravě
Gold medal for stage design at the International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Art in 1925 in Paris. Is it possible to summarize the abilities of the all-talented artist Vlastislav Hofman? Hofman was primarily an architect, but his relationship to avant-garde streams also interfered with his painting, graphic, scenographic and design work.
