Pavel Hlavaty

Pavel Hlavatý (born 1943, Albrechtice, Czech Republic) is a Czech painter and graphic artist. He studied at the School of Applied Arts in Uherské Hradiště and later taught drawing, painting and art history.

After exhibiting drawings responding to the 1968 invasion of Czechoslovakia, he was imprisoned and subsequently prohibited from teaching and exhibiting. From 1977, he concentrated on graphic art, producing independent prints, illustrations, posters, exlibris and bibliophile editions.

Hlavatý's printmaking includes etching and drypoint. His work has been exhibited internationally, and he has undertaken stays in the studios of Japanese artists. He represented Czech art at the Paris Salon in 1991.
