Jindřich Štyrský – Collages part I

Jindřich Štyrský (Čermná, 1899 – Prague, 1942) était un peintre tchèque surréaliste, poète, rédacteur, photographe et collagiste.
Son œuvre exceptionnelle et variée inclue de nombreuses couvertures de livres et d’illustrations. Il a également rédigé des études à la fois sur Rimbaud et le Marquis de Sade. Il s’est formé à l’Académie des beaux-arts de Prague, chez J. Obrovský.

En 1922, au cours d’un voyage en Yougoslavie, il rencontre Toyen (Marie Čerminòvá), avec qui il s’associera. En 1923, il adhère au groupe d’avant-garde Jindřich Štyrsk (Čermná, 1899 – Prague, 1942) était un peintre tchèque surréaliste, poète, rédacteur, photographe et collagiste.
Son œuvre exceptionnelle et variée inclus de nombreuses couvertures de livres et d’illustrations. Il a également rédigé des études à la fois Rimbaud et Marquis de Sade. Il se forma à l’Académie des beaux-arts de Prague, chez J. Obrovský. En 1922, au cours d’un voyage en Yougoslavie, il rencontre Toyen (Marie Čerminòvá), avec qui il s’associera. En 1923, il adhère au groupe d’avant-garde Devětsil dont le programme  » poétiste « , défini par le critique d’art K. Teige, aura sur lui, comme sur Toyen, une influence féconde.Ses premières œuvres s’inspirent du Cubisme synthétique, mais perdent peu à peu leur caractère constructif pour tendre vers une peinture médiatrice de poésie pure.

En 1925, Štyrský et Toyen se rendent à Paris, où ils resteront jusqu’en 1929. Ils s’y font les promoteurs de  l’ «Artificialisme » , art qui veut matérialiser des images, des impressions et des sentiments liés au souvenir d’une réalité vécue ou rêvée.

Štyrský inaugure cette période par le Paysage-échiquier (1925, Paris, M. N. A. M.). Après une série de   «poèmes-tableaux  » fondés sur la méthode de l’association libre des images à la manière surréaliste, il exécute, en 1926 et 1927, des compositions non figuratives dont les signes deviennent, selon l’expression du peintre, des  «inducteurs directs d’émotions  » : les Antipodes (1926, Hluboká, Gal. Aleš), les Fleurs dans la neige (1927), Trouvé sur la plage , l’Inondation  ne sont pas sans rappeler l’art de Klee, avec lequel l’ « Artificialisme  » a de nombreux points communs.

Dans les années 1928-1930, Štyrský se consacre, dans le même esprit, au dessin, à la gravure et à l’aquarelle. Il découvre Lautréamont, qui contribuera fortement à l’orienter vers le Surréalisme. L’année 1931 voit apparaître des compositions inquiétantes, meublées de formes insolites et d’objets mystérieux (la Cigarette à côté de la morte, 1931, musée d’Ostrava).

En 1932, il participe à l’exposition Poésie 32 à Prague, où à côté des représentants de l’avant-garde tchèque figurent aussi Paul Klee et Giorgio De Chirico.

En 1934, Štyrský devient l’un des fondateurs du groupe des surréalistes de Tchécoslovaquie. Ses tableaux se peuplent de visions hallucinatoires et de figures fantomatiques, expressions sublimées de ses aspirations et de ses angoisses (la Pierre tombale, 1934, musée de Prague ; l’Homme emporté par le vent . ; Clairière dans la lumière de juin, 1937), et il réalise des collages où le fantastique « surréel  » jaillit de rencontres fortuites d’éléments objectifs.

Dans ses dernières œuvres, le rêve et la réalité, le conscient et l’inconscient se mêlent intimement (la Muse somnambule, 1937 ; le Paradis perdu, 1941).

En 1939, la censure lui interdit toute activité publique, il termine toutefois son livre des Rêves qui rassemble des dessins, des collages, des tableaux et des notations écrites de ses rêves pendant les années 1925-1940. 

Aujourd’hui je vous propose une première partie consacrée à ses collages, viendront, le livre des rêves, et d’autres œuvres par la suite, ainsi que ses travaux photographiques ( que vous retrouverez avec le lien ci dessous)

Miroslav Tichý (1926 – 2011)

Miroslav Tichý (1926 – 2011) was a photographer who from the 1960s to 1985 took thousands of surreptitious pictures of women in his hometown of Kyjov in the Czech Republic, using homemade cameras constructed of cardboard tubes, tin cans and other at-hand materials. Most of his subjects were unaware they are being photographed. A few struck beauty-pageant poses when they sighted him, perhaps not realizing that the parody of a camera he carried was real.His soft focus, fleeting glimpses of the women of Kyjov are skewed, spotted and badly printed — flawed by the limitations of his primitive equipment and a series of deliberate processing mistakes meant to add poetic imperfections.Of his technical methods, he has said, « First of all, you have to have a bad camera », and, « If you want to be famous, you must do something more badly than anybody in the entire world. »During the Communist regime in Czechoslovakia, Tichý was considered a dissident and badly treated. His photographs remained largely unknown until an exhibition was held for him in 2004. Tichý did not attend exhibitions, and lived a life of self-sufficiency and freedom from the standards of society. Tichý died on April 12, 2011 in Kyjov.

Stepán Bohumil (1913 – 1985)

« He was born in Křivoklát in Central Bohemia and studied at the Ukrainian Academy of Fine Arts and the private Rotter Advertising School in Prague before becoming a painter, graphic artist and illustrator.He published his first drawings in student magazine H2SO4. He exhibited figural composition in foyer of theatre D-38 in 1937. After the war he has worked on political posters and caricature.

In the early 1960s, like other Czechoslovakian graphic artists, he designed film posters that combine drawn and collage elements. Collage became his focus and his collage-drawings and cartoons appeared in publications such as the satirical magazine Trn (Thorn), Mladý svět (Young World) and Plamen (Flame), a literary magazine. His book projects based on this style include Praštěné pohádky (Wacky Fairy Tales, 1965) by Ludvík Aškenazy and Gulliverovy cesty (Gulliver’s Travels, 1968). In 1969, Štěpán emigrated to Munich, where he had a second career illustrating books and magazines; this also calls for research. Publications from his German period include a book of cartoons (1970) and Familienalbum (Family Album, 1971) composed in the surreal collage style of Galerie — it features a few of the same images. » By  Rick Poynor
