Edouard Antonin Vysekal (1890 - 1939) was active/lived in California.  Edouard Vysekal is known for Modernist figure, landscape and portrait painting.

Born in Kutna Hora, Czechoslovakia on March 17, 1890 into a family of artists. Edouard Vysekal began his art studies in Prague and, after joining his father in St Paul, MN in 1907, studied at the AIC under Vanderpoel, and later with Stanton MacDonald-Wright, Harry M. Walcott, and Morgan Russell.

He taught at the Art Institute from 1912-14 and married one of his pupils, Luvena Buchanan.  In 1914 the couple came west to execute a mural commission in the Barbara Worth Hotel in El Centro, CA. Opting to remain in California, he established a studio home in the Hollywood Hills.
