• Jirí Kolár is one of the most acclaimed international representatives of the collage technique and one of the most famous Czech artists of the second half of the 20th century.
• In his unique visual poetic language, Kolár creates collages from color reproductions of well-known paintings and newspaper clippings, weaving a tapestry of memories, places, feelings, and eras.
• In the present work, Kolar creates a cross-section of history.

LITERATURE: Sturies Kunst & Auktionen, 11th auction, May 15, 2004, lot 112 (illustrated).

"Kolár's work reflects on the relationship between history and the present, on the development, differences and similarities between individual cultural epochs, on the discovery of hidden properties, on the unexpected juxtaposition of elements of reality and art, of fantasy and sober objectivity. It is characterized by both reverence for tradition and a yearning for new creative methods."
