Abstracts

EN

The painter, writer and ethnographer Helena Salichová (1895–1975) was closely connected to the Silesian region which enchanted her and to which she dedicated her whole life. Her collecting activities in the field of ethnography focused on Silesian folk songs, folk costumes as well as understanding and preservation of Silesian folk literature. She used all these collections in her literary work and as a result she published nine books in 1917–1975. She also illustrated six of the books. The illustrations fully reflect subject of the book and it is possible to notice themes typical of free art creation of Helena Salichová.
