Jiri Kolar Biography

(Protivín, 24 September 1914 – Prague, 11 August 2002).In 1942, together with the art theorist Jindřich Chalupecký, the sculptor Ladislav Zívr, the painter František Hudeček, the poets Ivan Blatný, Jiřina Hauková, Josef Kainar and other artists , founded the group 42 (Skupina 42), which celebrates "the enchantment of technique". Between 1959 and 1961, he worked on his Básně ticha (Poems in silence) which broke with verbal poetry and pushed the deconstruction of the poem already begun by Stéphane Mallarmé in his Coup de dé and followed by Guillaume Apollinaire in his Calligrams. For this reason his creation takes the form of a collage made with printed texts and images. In his Týdeník 1968 (Weekly 1968), a newspaper in the form of a collage of events of the Prague Spring and the subsequent invasion of Czechoslovakia by the Warsaw Pact troops, the poem is nothing more than the illustration of a poetic image.
