Description
An essential draftsman who elevated drawing to a philosophizing mode of expression The first monograph dedicated to the work of Jan Steklík (1938—2017), a significant figure in Czech visual art of the second half of the twentieth century. The cornerstone of his work is a subtle yet striking drawing that, combined with playfulness and ironic distance, contributes to revealing the everyday beauty of the world. This extensive, richly illustrated publication reflects the diverse aspects of Steklík's multifaceted art and highlights drawing and playfulness as the core creative principles of this distinctive artist, a visual poet of the mundane and a master of conceptual brevity. Individual themes of his extensive oeuvre are introduced by philosophical essays by Jozef Cseres, complemented by an erudite art historical study by Terezie Petišková. The book, which includes a foreword by Dunja Slavíková and Paul Wilson, will also feature a CD with recordings of Steklík's scores.
