Jiri Kolar:
Literary & Visual Artist
Jiri Kolar was a Czech poet, writer, painter and translator. His work was divided between literary and visual art. He had his first exhibitions in 1937, and in these exhibitions he displayed his collages. In 1960s he put painting and poetry together but he gradually fully turned to experimenting in visual art. In his work he used a scalpel to cut pictures out of magazines. He produced colors in his collages by gluing on printed papers. His collages were intended to influence the viewer’s outlook on life; to raise the viewer’s level of consciousness. He invented or helped to develop new techniques of collage – confrontage, froissage, rollage etc.
