	Norbert Capek
		Josef was a tailor and a religious agnostic, Marie a devout Roman Catholic.
		At age 18 Capek resigned from the Roman Catholic Church and was baptized a Baptist.
		Capek defined religious education as "an endeavor to awaken the inner forces of the child and teach him how to organize, harmonize and adapt them to the ever-changing influences which come to him from outside." He identified five 'fundamental' and five 'supplementary feelings and abilities' which a modern religious education should elicit from a child.

	At home abroad by Roger Kimball
		Capek arrived in Folkestone at the end of May. He was met by Czech friends and instantly bundled into a train for London.
		Capek brings just the right mixture of admiration and affectionate deprecation to bear on his subject; he gives his curiosity free rein, but tempers both praise and deflation with humor; he is as alive to human accomplishment as he is to human folly, and it is rare that he discovers one unmodified by the other.
		Capek provides amusing caricatures and descriptions of John Galsworthy, G. Chesterton (“I have drawn him flying, in the first place because I was only able to get a rather fleeting impression of him and then because of his heavenly exuberance”), H.

		Josef Capek -- brother, housemate and sometime collaborator of the more famous Karel --; is a significant Czech painter froam the first half of the 20th century.
		This exhibition is cleverly curated to avoid presenting Josef Capek primarily as a leading avant-garde artist (though he was certainly part of that scene).
		Capek's depictions of streetwalkers are sallow, sickly and haunting figures with freakish faces looming in the darkened streets.

		Capek and his brother had an interest in architecture which might be due to the fact that Capek was interested in mathematics and calculation as well - just like Max Brod who wrote that Tycho Brahe book about calculations in astronomy.
		Josef Chochol was a pupil of Otto Wagner, the Viennese arte-nova architect (who designed many houses and railway stations in Vienna, plus the Majolica House cf Vienna part 3).
		Josef Capek's brother, called Karel, became friends with Max Brod, and with RUR wrote a novel that very much influenced our vocabulary - when we talk about Robots, we use a Czech word that means work.

		We are a greedy lot, obsessed with dirt, happy in a wagon load of s___, and hostile to many-legged life forms, but, we are also the best sort of human beings who understand the meaning and importance of life.
		Capek's writing reminds me of that of Henry Mitchell who wrote two columns (one on gardening the other on "everyday" philosophy) for the Washington Post.

	Alibris: Josef Capek
		The Czech writer Karel Capek (1890-1938) was renowned for his satirical play R.U.R., in which he coined the word "robot" (from the Czech word for "peasant")--a blistering attack on technology in the service of regimentation.
		Like traditional fairy tales, Capek's fantastic parables contain marvels and supernatural beings, fairies, elves, and talking animals; their plots stem from folk traditions where innocence triumphs.
