MIROSLAV VYSTRČIL 1924 - 2014 - METAMORPHOSIS II

Around 1959 Miroslav Vystrčil left the classical figure and never returned to it. He replaced modelling with metal and welding, descriptive details with clean and simple lines. From 1967 he was a member of the artistic group Concretists Club. From the same period, in connection with commissions for public space, the artist developed a new morphology close to abstract organic structure. The offered work Proměna I represents a design of an entrance sculpture for Sklo Union Teplice. A reminder of Vystrčil's work, which has an important place in the post-war history of art, was made possible through retrospective exhibitions in 2017 in Cheb and 2019 in Náchod. The work comes from the artist's estate. Published by GAVU Cheb, Miroslav Vystrčil. Retrospective, 2017. P. 54. Signed: unsigned
