Miroslav Vystrčil (1924 - 2014) A FIGURE

The line that permeates the character is actually a paraphrase of primitive art. The character is still the central motif of Miroslav Vystrčil's work, but it is expressed through a simplified character - a hieroglyph, as is the case with natural nations. Miroslav Vystrčil He 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 artists could meet. 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.
