unique copy of this book of Kolár's "typings." While his early career in 1940s and '50s focused on collage work, mostly through the Czech artistic group, Skupina 42, he fell heavily into visual art forms and experimental poetry, culminating in projects such as these typewriter and "letter picture" works.
