Sri Lanka/Czechoslovakia: 'Two Girls Carrying Flowers to a Temple'. Painting by T. F. Simon (1877-1942), c. 1928. Tavik Frantisek Simon (1877–1942), was a Czech painter, etcher, and woodcut artist. Although based mainly in Europe, his extensive travels took him to Morocco, Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), India, and Japan, images of all of which appear in his artistic work. He died in Prague in 1942. Largely ignored during the Communist era in Czechoslovakia, his work has received greater attention in recent years.
