A musical still-life relief is an early work by the artist, which he made while a student at the School of Applied at in Prague. In it he balances Cubist principles of the disintegration of mass, with rounded and sharp edges. As he wrote in his diary, his influence for the Violin relief was sculptor Jacques Lipchitz's Cubism. He started to work with Cubism in 1931, explaining: "...in the composition I addressed proportions, light and shadow, and the effort towards absolute form. I tried to freely master the form, mass and space without descriptive regard to actual reality..." Published in: Jaromír Typlt: Josef Mařatka, Prague 2013, p. 358, cat. no. 14. Patinated plaster, unsigned.
