Ladislav Zívr (1909 - 1980) SPECTRE

Ladislav Zívr experimented with abstraction, studied nature and its processes, geometry and its laws. This was reflected in the enrichment of the sculptures with contrasting and hybrid shapes. The moulage technique represents his own innovation, when he incorporated original natural shapes into liquid plaster. The poetics and tension of Zívr's work lies in the transcendental dimension and touches the building blocks of life, bodies and nature. The surrealistic composition of Spectre is a modern reference to the theme of vanitas and matter subject to external realities. In the list of Zívr's works in the monograph published by the Kant publishing house in 2013, Přízrak is numbered 487.
