A surreal theme of a jug in a typical dream style by Josef Vyleťal with numerous symbols. In his work, Josef Vyleťal outlined a completely new surrealism through archetypal similarities and symbolisms of objects, which he placed in the center of his paintings. He described inner feelings with the help of numerous analogies, cosmic eggs became the birthplace of new life, vessels and vases held the inner creative process, emotions and knowledge. He often transformed destruction and chaos into something beautiful. Artwork's authenticity confirmed by Olga Vyleťalová.
