Abstract
Leckdy se objeví rody, jejichž členové po několik generací ovlivňují kulturní dění v bližším či širším okolí. Příkladem může být západočeský rod Wenigů, v počátcích spjatý s Merklínskem, později se Staňkovskem, a to tak výrazně, že dokonce existovaly regionalistické tendence označovat Staňkovsko jako „Kraj Wenigů“. Tento rod dal české kultuře několik výrazných osobností. Článek pojednává o jedné z nich – o malíři Janu Weigovi. Přibližuje malířův život a charakteristiku jeho grafických děl a malířské práce, inklinující ke kubismu.
Sometimes, families appear whose members have influenced cultural life in the immediate or wider surroundings for several generations. One example is the Wenig family of West Bohemia, which was initially linked to Merklín and later to Staňkovsko, so much so that there were even regionalist tendencies to refer to Staňkovsko as the 'Wenig Region'. This family has given Czech culture several prominent personalities. The article deals with one of them - the painter Jan Weig. It presents the painter's life and the characteristics of his graphic and painting works, which tended towards cubism.
