Evašvankmajerjan. Anima animus animation

Viac o knihe

This essential and unsurpassed monograph offers a direct view of the life and creativity of the artist Eva Švankmajerová (1940–2005) and the film director and artist Jan Švankmajer (1934). Their paintings, images, poems, important encounters, scripts, tactile objects, diary entries, films, ceramic vessels, plays, puppets, collages, texts and dreams represent the great imaginative activity of contemporary Czech surrealism. The monograph, with the secondary title Between Film and Free Expression, is divided into ten thematic chapters and accompanied by a bibliography, a list of exhibitions and a filmography, and is mostly based on original texts by both artists.
