drypoint, paper, 23,8 × 27,7 cm, signed in pencil bottom right Jiří John 1968
Jiří John was a painter, but graphics were a strong and compelling component of
of his work. He was distinguished by an extremely pure artistic view, based on
from his understanding of the evolution of nature and his ability to arrange the elements into a harmonious composition. The dry needle suited him because of its fragility and delicacy.
