Jiří Kolář became popular through the synthesis of various art forms such as poetry, collages, assemblages and objects. He dismantled words and images and put them back together again. Kolář worked with a wide variety of materials, mainly image reproductions and text copies. The collage techniques invented and modified by Kolář enabled him to turn the source material into a poetic instrument and to continually vary the expressive potential. With humor, but also irony, and with hidden criticism, Kolář put together his individual worldview. From the surrealist beginnings to Dada - his found collages quote Marcel Duchamp's Objets trouvés - he took suggestions and integrated them into his own work. He also used suggestions from Informel, Constructivism, Lettrism, kinetic and conceptual art. He worked with scissors and a scalpel, with glue and printed paper that replaced the paint. Through his newly created forms of collage, Kolář brought a universal, linguistically unbound evidence of poetic expression into the visual arts. Jiří Kolář belonged to the group of the most influential and well-known Czech visual artists. His graphics, valued by collectors, are particularly popular in France.
