Prague’s 60th Jubilee Exposition, presented by the Chambers of Commerce and Industry, is advertised for the potential Swiss attendee by Oliva with tawny panoramic sweep and inviting allegory. Not to slight the Czech megalopolis, but, in a manner we have come to expect from this artist, it’s his proficiency with the female form that commands our attention, here in the form of the beautiful embodiment of the exposition–a bit aloof, yet somehow attainable and altogether realistic–with all the symbolic totems of the gathering in her possession, including a very active veterinary caduceus.
