Photography

Jindřich Štyrský was a Czech painter, photographer, and collagist active in the interwar avant-garde, closely associated with Surrealism and the Czech Surrealist Group founded in 1934. Working in oil, collage, and photomontage, he created dreamlike compositions that combined figurative imagery with abstract formal disruption, often exploring themes of desire, the unconscious, and eroticism. His practice ranged from canvas painting to experimental photography and prints. Štyrský died in Prague in 1942 at age 43, leaving a body of work that remained influential in Central European modernism.
