Item Overview

Description

CROCODILE HUNT. 1960’s. Assemblage, various materials, 140x57 cm. Around 1964, Janošek concentrated himself on new technique: assemblage. Since the late 1950‘s he has been in contact with artists from the group Šmidrové. Their aesthetics of strangeness was familiar to him and appeared in objects made up of various things of daily use. After the mid-1960‘s, he created aesthetically similar objects, but the real objects were often cast and the entire surface of the piece was coloured in monochrome colours.
LOV NA KROKODÝLA. 60. léta 20. stol. Asambláž, různé materiály, 140x57 cm. Kolem roku 1964 rozvinul umělec další z poloh své tvorby: asambláže. Od konce 50. let byl v kontaktu s umělci z okruhu Šmidrů. Jejich estetika divnosti mu byla blízká a projevila se v objektech sestavených z nejrůznějších předmětů denní reality. Po polovině 60. let vytvářel pak objekty esteticky spřízněné, kde ale reálné předměty byly často odlity a celý povrch díla byl kolorován do monochromních barev.
KROKODILJAGD. 1960s. Assemblage, verschiedene Materiale, 140x57 cm. Um 1964 hat der Künstler andere Form seiner Arbeit entwickelt: Assemblage. Seit Ende 1950s war er im Kontakt mit Künstlern aus dem Kreis der Kunstgruppe „Šmidrové“. Ihre Ästhetik der Sonderheit war ihm nahe und manifestierte sich in Objekten, die aus verschiedensten Gebrauchsgegenständen zusammengebaut wurden. Nach der Hälfte 1960s bildete er ästhetisch verwandte Objekte, wo aber reale Gegenstände oft gegossen waren und die ganze Oberfläche in monochromen Tönen koloriert.

Notes


Čestmír Janošek studoval na Vyšší škole um. průmyslu v Praze (1950-1954) a na AVU u K. Hladíka a V. Sychry (1955-1962). Po realistických a kubistických začátcích pod vlivem Expa 58 (Brusel) jako mnozí další umělci obrátil pozornost k abstrakci. Jeho tvorba v l. 1958-1962 vycházela z informelní gestické malby. První malby byly ještě velmi expresivní, ale postupně se dostával ke kombinaci tašistických tvarů s geometrickými liniemi. V té době se také pustil do experimentů, např. používání sazí a dalších přírodních materiálů. Podnětné bylo přátelství s V. Boudníkem a umělci z okruhu tzv. Konfrontací, kde i sám vystavoval. V období 1962-1964 se od malby se posunul spíše k objektu, zprvu závěsnému, později volnému. Nadále experimentoval s technikami a „neuměleckými“ materiály. 1968 emigroval do Kolína n. R., kde žije a tvoří dodnes. Atmosféra nového působiště jej vedla k malbě s mystickou symbolikou světla. V 90. letech navštívil Prahu a částečně se vrátil ke starším tvůrčím technikám.
