Historique
Kolář was a Czech born artist who worked across artistic media from the start of his career, with poetry and collage at the heart of his practice. His collages were first exhibited in 1937 in a Prague theatre vestibule, while his first poetry collection was published in 1941. Early in his career he was a founding member of the influential Group 42, an artist collective who sought to remove academicism from modern art and instead reflected modern urban life in their work.
