About the Author
Jindřich Styrský (1899-1942) was a painter, poet, editor, photographer, and collagist. His outstanding and varied oeuvre included numerous book covers and illustrations. He also wrote studies of both Rimbaud and Marquis de Sade. A member of Devetsil, he participated in their group exhibitions and in 1928-29 was director of the group's drama wing, the "Liberated Theater." In addition to his Edition 69 series, Styrský also edited the Erotic Review, which he launched in 1930, and Odeon, where many of his shorter texts appeared. He was a founding member of the Surrealist Group of Czechoslovakia.
Reviews
It would be futile to look for any concessions to what's in vogue or to outside pressures in Styrský's work. The occupation and war have not diverted him from his path, which is at one with the path of revolution. -- Benjamin Peret
