Jiří Winter Neprakta (1924 - 2011) SET OF 4 ILLUSTRATIONS FOR A CALENDAR

Jiří Winter Neprakta is one of the most prolific Czech artists - with his more than 35,000 cartoon jokes, he is also mentioned in the Guinness Book of Records. He studied at the State School of Graphic Arts and subsequently several semesters at the Faculty of Science. During World War II, he was imprisoned for more than a year for storing weapons. In 1957 he took part in the first exhibition of the May 57 group. The submitted drawings for the calendar humorously go through various stages of human and animal existence.
