About This Item
An apparently unrecorded broadside by the Lacoste group, a Brno-based association of post-war Czech surrealist artists, who also issued a samizdat art periodical entitled Styx between 1966 and 1969. Signed February 1968, the text apparently voices protest against the first surrealist exhibition to be held in Czechoslovakia since 1947. The more liberal climate of the mid-to-late 1960s, which would soon culminate in the Prague Spring of 1968, allowed for an exhibit entitled "The Pleasure Principle" (Princip slasti), to be held at Brno, Prague, and Bratislava. Aside from four pre-war surrealists, the exhibit represented the post-war generation of French surrealists in the tradition of Breton. See also Derek Sayer, Prague: Capital of the Twentieth Century: A Surrealist History, pp. 432-434. A very uncommon glimpse into one of the ways surrealism survived in post-war Czechoslovakia, along with the activities of Skupina Ra and similar groups.
