Karel Teige: Captain of the Avant-Garde

Art theorist and critic, graphic designer, artist, author and translator Karel Teige (1900-51) is today recognised not just as the creator of internationally acclaimed surrealist collages, but also as a leading figure of the European avant-garde. This comprehensive monograph, by art historian Rea Michalová, takes a wide-ranging look at the evolution of Teige's ideological, theoretical and political views, and recalls important moments in his life and their significance within the international context. The book includes a rich set of illustrations, photographs from his life, and examples of his unique collages and graphic designs.
