Summary
The exhibition Jiří Kolář: the Grimace of the Century concentrates on a selection of his artworks connected with his poetry; this illuminates the unorthodox way in which he formulated his commentary on the world. His Diary 1968 will be a major part of the display - a series of 66 collages covering the dramatic events of that year. Groups of often unknown artworks will also be on display, showing the artistically open way Kolář created the "Orbis Pictus" of our time from the second half of the 1940s to the end of his life. The selected works will include items from the National Gallery, Kampa Museum, Jiří Kolář Estate, Neues Museum Nurnberg and other private collections.
