Miroslav Vystrčil (1924 - 2014) COMPOSITION AND SELF PORTRAIT

A unique period record of Miroslav Vystrčil's work, which presents his own and relatively gloomy self-portrait and abstract composition with a glued animal jaw. Around 1959, Miroslav Vystrčil completely abandoned the figural themes and never returned to them. 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 artists could meet. In the years 1957 - 1958 he exhibited with the group May 57.
