Drawing on everything from the Old Masters to Surrealism, Králík applied his art historical influences to his monumental architectural designs and his portable handwritten or printed texts
This first monograph on painter and printmaker Jaroslav Králík (1924–99) restores him to the canon of 20th-century Czech art. Aesthetics of metaphysical painting, Surrealism and Symbolism echo throughout his work in tapestry, stained glass, collages, prints and handwritten texts.
