The author, Robert Kehlmann (artist, critic, and writer) discusses their aesthetic in terms of the Czech intellectual and artistic climate in which it formed, with particular attention to the influence of Czech cubism. A conversation with the artists reveals further details about their creative process, and an interview of art historian Jiri Setlfk presents his perspective on their work. Illustrated with 31 color and b&w plates, and several line drawings. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) See less
