Jiří Kolář

More about the book

Vladimír Karfík examines the work of Jiří Kolář through analytical studies and editorial efforts, publishing the poet's writings. He explores Kolář's contributions to the artistic program and creation of Skupina 42, his poetic style, and his significant influence on contemporary Czech prose, particularly on authors like Bohumil Hrabal, as well as Kolář's lesser-known dramatic works. This book presents three studies that capture the essential characteristics of the original poetic oeuvre of one of the most prominent figures in Czech art of this century.
