Jiří Anderle is one of the most important Czech graphic artists and painters. His
expression is based on technically perfect drawing and admirable mastery of
graphic techniques, especially drypoint. His work was influenced by his experiences
of his childhood in Pavlík, Rakovník, his extensive knowledge of the history of art
of art, literature and music, as well as admiration for the great personalities of world culture
of different epochs. He first made a name for himself internationally with his
graphic art, for which he won important international awards. He is represented by
in a number of national and international collections (National Gallery in Prague, Metropolitan
Museum in New York, Baruch Collection in Chicago, etc. ).
Anderle's prints and paintings have always had a deep, often socially attuned
content and perfect form. In his graphic and pictorial work we can
we can trace the development of his ideas in a complex interweaving of shapes, expressing
an equally complex philosophical content. It shows a balance between
content with form and the combination of virtuoso technique with expressive conception.
