Josef Vyleťal (1940 - 1989) AN AUTOMATIC START OF THE PAINTING

The composition of the objects that Josef Vyleťal processed in the presented study probably corresponds to the time when the idea for the work Apocalyptic Horseman was born in his head. The peeled lemon appears almost literally in the work. The surrealist carefully processed the themes of the works in a typical dreamlike stylization with numerous symbols. Nitro described using analogies, cosmic eggs becoming the birthplace of new life, vessels and vases harboring the inner creative process, emotions and knowledge. He often transformed destruction and chaos into something beautiful.
