Ladislav Zívr - Woman with Apparatus
Ladislav Zívr is known above all in connection with the Skupina 42 artists’ association. As the only sculptor among its members, he sought his own specific variation of the group’s programme that was focused on subjects of civilization and the everyday aspects of urban life. He was intrigued by the motif of the connection of the human figure with a work tool or technical equipment, with which the figure is portrayed working in a highly focused manner, while blending with it into a single plastic whole. He devoted himself to civilist themes until 1948 when the group disbanded and briefly returned to the subject in the early sixties. Afterwards, the attributes of modern civilization disappeared from Zívr's oeuvre that was then completely taken over by metamorphoses of organic forms and inspirations in natural processes.
