Jiří Šalamoun, born in Prague in 1935, is, alongside Květa Pacovská and Peter Sís, one of the most famous contemporary Czech illustrators. His images have interpreted and commented on stories by Charles Dickens, Fenimore Cooper, and J.R.R. Tolkien, among others, as well as poems by his compatriot Pavel Šrut. However, it was his collaboration on the cartoon series "Maxipes Fík," based on Rudolf Čechura's scripts for Czechoslovak television and published as albums, that made him famous, not only among children in his own country, but also abroad, where his entire body of work has been recognized with numerous awards. A joyful artist and anxious spectator of the long Czech 20th century, Jiří Šalamoun was also a remarkable typographer, a creator of theater and exhibition posters, and active in the publishing and press worlds. These are all aspects of a kaleidoscopic oeuvre that this lavishly illustrated monograph invites you to discover.
