Dusan Kadlec elected to the Canadian Society of Marine Artists.

     It is with the greatest pleasure that the Canadian Society of Marine Artists wishes to announce that Mr Dusan Kadlec has been elected to Membership of the Society:

     Mr Dusan Kadlec was born in Prague in 1942. He received his masters degree from the prestigious Academy of Fine Arts in Prague in 1967. Shortly afterward, in 1968 he emigrated to Halifax, Nova Scotia where he still works and makes his home.

     His highly detailed original oil paintings are prized by connoisseurs the world over, and reflect his strong sense of history. He meticulously researched to accurately portray a place and time in which he had never been.

     A sample of Mr Kadlec's work may be seen here.

     The Canadian Society of Marine Artists promotes excellence in marine art, accepting that art is in the eye of the beholder and believing that the broad notion of "fine arts" - including both two and three dimensional works - and "excellence" should be used as guidelines. To maintain excellence, admission to the Society as a full member is by jury of the artists' peers.
