František Gross (1909 - 1985) AL MARE 2 A 3

František Gross was a leading exponent of Group 42 and Radar art groups. He studied at the Czech Technical University under Professor O. Blažíček and at the School of Applied Arts under Professor František Kysela. Here he met František Hudeček and the two forged a lifelong friendship. In 1933–34 he became acquainted with surrealism, which combined with his Cubist tendencies offered fertile ground for absurdism and humor.
