Czech artist and sculptor Jan Kutálek is known for his distinctive ceramic figurative work. Since the 1950s he has also focused on applied art in his ceramic work. His work is most influenced by the work of the Italian expressive ceramist Salvatore Fancello. Kutálek drew for his works mainly themes from Czech and Greek mythology, legends and fairy tales. His work is characterized by unusual playfulness, unusual poetry and is endowed with a special fairy-tale charm, which is also represented by the offered dwarf.
