***

This catalogue published to accompany the eponymous exhibition presents one of the most prominent individuals of the Czech art scene of the second half of the twentieth century. His oeuvre underwent steep, very dynamic development, which can be described as an arc leading from surrealism, through the period labelled “Informel”, and ending with a highly original final stage: Medek always followed his own independent path, which made him a unique European painter of his time whose fame continues to grow.
