Josef Špaček (1923 - 2001) YOUTH (HELENKA)

The sculpture Youth (Helenka), inspired by a literary theme, follows on from the artist's diverse work depicting female bodies, this time abstracting and bringing the body to the very limits of legibility and comprehensibility. Between 1977 and 1978, the sculpture was created in several variants and from various materials. Published in: Křížová, Alena. Sochař Josef Špaček., 2004, p. 38.
