Štyrský, a founding member of the Czechoslovak Surrealist Group, was a pivotal figure in 1930s Prague, known for his diverse contributions to art and literature. His work, particularly in black-and-white photography, captures the essence of Prague's Art Nouveau architecture and city life, presenting a surreal lens through which to view the city. The collaboration with Heisler and others emphasizes the interconnectedness of visual art and literature within Surrealism, illustrating how different art forms can illuminate each other, showcasing the depths of creativity during a politically charged era.
Štyrský's black-and-white photographs capture unintended collages of scenery and objects, creating a kaleidoscopic portrait of Prague that resonates with contemporary visitors.
Surrealism claimed both visual art and literature as vehicles of expression, allowing collaborative works like 'Needles' to exercise mutual illumination across mediums.
