Jiří Šalamoun Possibles Visions du Monde

by Jiří Šalamoun

$120 · Offered by eBay

Jiří Šalamoun was one of the distinctive voices of Czech illustration, working across books, graphic art and animation. His drawings mix something almost grotesque with the pure charm of a child’s doodle. Strange, humorous and slightly unsettling, they sometimes bring to mind the dreamlike unease of David Lynch. Having spent his childhood during World War II, Šalamoun belonged to a generation shaped by a turbulent period in Czech history. This substantial collection is a wonderful introduction to his imaginative world and to the rich tradition of Czech visual culture.
