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.

  • Night Navigating
    By Joseph Broghammer
    Located in Kansas City, MO
    Artist: Joseph Broghammer Title : Night Navigating Date : 2020 Dimensions : 20 1/2 by 24 inches. Medium : chalk pastel on paper Omaha based artist Joseph Broghammer is as much of a storyteller as he is an artist. His one-of-a-kind pastel drawings in “Animals” are chronicles of his life. The creatures Broghammer creates are vehicles to uncover the varying characteristics of the artist’s personal identity. Broghammer began mastering his “dry painting” technique during his B.F.A. in Visual Art at the University of South Dakota. He graduated in 1986 and a year later went on to study his M.F.A. at the University of Wisconsin. In 2009, he studied at Creative Capital in Omaha, Nebraska. Broghammer later went on to become an educator himself, teaching at WhyArts? and becoming an Artist Assistant at Vera Mercer in Omaha – both of which he still practices at today. Broghammer’s work has resonated with many people around the world. Only a few years after his formal education, he began exhibiting his work through various International group shows in Italy, Germany, Holland, Mexico, and even Kansas City. Although Broghammer’s portraits depict downy creatures, his work is very much about the human experience. They are honest and full of life, evoking a sincere exchange between artist and viewer.
