Ohře River near the village of Počedělice was one of Zdeněk Sýkora's most frequent motifs in the 1960s, and he painted here until the 1980s. He also returned here very often, whenever he was longing to be in the wild. In 2013, a memorial place was created here, where friends and admirers of Zdeněk Sýkora's work meet at the memorial panel every year in July. His landscapes went through a major formal transformation - from realistic, through impressionist and Fauvist to reduced shapes and colors in the late 1950s, the so-called Gardens. Most of us associate Zdeněk Sýkora with his geometric structures, shapes, stains and lines, and his works are represented in a number of world and Czech collections. In 2007, the painting Line No. 24 became part of the permanent exhibition of the Center Pompidou in Paris. The authenticity of the work was confirmed by Lenka Sýkorová, the artist's wife. From Lenka Sýkorová's assessment: "In the way of painting, this painting follows the work from the period around 1958 (ie before the Gardens cycle), when the paintings still corresponded with the motif in terms of drawing and color. This type of landscape can be considered a study of his painting skills in direct confrontation with nature. As a rule, he no longer worked on them in the studio (unlike the landscapes of the late 1970s and early 1980s - horizons, fields, paths). All the attributes of this painting point to Sýkora's authorship. "
