František Jaroslav Pecka

1878-1960 (CZECHOSLOVAKIA)

A published author on evolutionary history, František Jaroslav Pecka was a geologist, archaeologist and palaeontologist, whose immersion in spiritualist study inspired an extraordinary body of work. His (re)discovered spirit portraits and finger paintings, produced in trance and accredited to the departed, led to his status as one of the most avant-garde figures within early 20th century mediumistic art. Each work in Ectoplasmix represents a different spirit with ectoplasm and aura.
