Josef Čapek ((:ˈjozɛf ˈtʃapɛk); 23 March 1887 – April 1945) was a Czech artist who was best known as a painter, but who was also noted as a writer and a poet. He invented the word robot, which was introduced into literature by his brother, Karel Čapek.
== Biography ==
Čapek was born in Hronov, Bohemia (Austria-Hungary, later Czechoslovakia, now Czech Republic) in 1887. First a painter of the Cubist school, he later developed his own playful primitive style. He collaborated with his brother Karel on a number of plays and short stories; on his own, he wrote the utopian play ''Land of Many Names'' and several novels, as well as critical essays in which he argued for the art of the unconscious, of children, and of 'savages'. He was named by his brother as the true inventor of the term ''robot''.〔(Karel Capek – Who did actually invent the word "robot" and what does it mean? ) at capek.misto.cz〕〔(Robotics and automation handbook )〕 As a cartoonist, he worked for ''Lidové Noviny,'' a newspaper based in Prague.
Due to his critical attitude towards national socialism and Adolf Hitler, he was arrested after the German invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1939. He wrote ''Poems from a Concentration Camp'' in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, where he died in 1945.
His illustrated stories about 'Pejsek a Kočička' ('Doggie and Pussycat') are considered classics of Czech children's literature.
