Born in Brno in 1894, Anna Ticho studied in Vienna and examined drawings by Dürer and Brueghel at the Albertina. She subsequently made Jerusalem and its surrounding hills the subjects of a practice centred on drawing, which also included portraits. Landscape behind Rocks (1951), held by New York’s Museum of Modern Art, is executed in pencil on a sheet of paper measuring 59.7 × 45 centimetres.
Jerusalem Hills (1963), in the same collection, uses charcoal on a sheet measuring 51.7 × 69.8 centimetres. During the 1970s, Ticho drew more freely in her studio, often from memory, on large sheets. Experience of a place thus informed the movement of lines and the reconstruction of landscape.
