Jiri Kolar Art

Czech, 1914-2002

Jiří Kolář was born in Czech Republic in 1914. He was the son of a baker who became a writer around 1943. His first exhibition in 1937 focused on collages, later works specifically focused on his method of using a scalpel to cut pictures from magazines and reconfigure them in Surrealist forms. He wanted to highlight the destruction and fragmentation of the world. Kolář invented/helped to develop new techniques of collage, specifically confrontage, froissage, and rollage etc. He has exhibited in Prague and 1975 in the Guggenheim, New York.
