Miroslav Vystrčil (1924 - 2014) A SUN

Miroslav Vystrčil studied at the School of Arts and Crafts in Brno and at the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague under J. Horejc and B. Stefan. His studio in Kampa served as a place where many artists met. In the years 1957–1958, he exhibited with the group May 57. Around 1959, Miroslav Vystrčil left the classical figure and never returned to it. He exchanged modeling for metal and welding, descriptive details for clean and simple lines in a striking composition. Vystrčil's generation, strong in number and quality, went through the study in a very complicated period and had only a very short time to exhibit. Since 1967, he has been a member of the Klub Konkrétistů artistic group. It is worth mentioning his retrospective exhibitions in 2017 in Cheb and 2019 in Náchod.
