Jiri Kolar (1914-2002) - Henri Rousseau Rollage
Large-format colour print Jiří Kolář, executed in his characteristic rollage technique, published by Zander Feinpapier AG in 1980, originally issued in a portfolio
By cutting and reassembling imagery into narrow vertical strips, Kolář constructs a complex visual rhythm that introduces movement and temporal layering into a static image. The scene of stylized figures in a surreal, almost theatrical landscape subtly recalls the poetic and dreamlike imagery of Henri Rousseau, while the optical fragmentation aligns with the visual language of Op Art and kinetic experimentation.
Kolář’s innovative approach places him in dialogue with major figures of Dada and collage such as Kurt Schwitters, Hannah Höch, Max Ernst, and Raoul Hausmann, while also connecting to later developments in conceptual and experimental art alongside artists like Robert Rauschenberg, Dieter Roth, Marcel Broodthaers, and Joseph Beuys. The optical qualities further resonate with Victor Vasarely, Bridget Riley, and Jesús Rafael Soto, emphasizing perception, repetition, and transformation.
The print is plate-signed and dated within the image and stands out for its monumental panoramic format, enhancing the immersive effect of the composition. Originally part of a portfolio, this sheet is now preserved as an individual work.
Condition
Overall in good condition. Colours remain vivid and the paper is strong and well-preserved. The sheet is folded in the middle as issued, with a visible central fold line. Minor handling wear and light signs of age may be present, consistent with its age and original portfolio storage.
