Product Details
This work by the Czech artist Oldřich Kulhánek (1940–2013) is titled "Interior No. 1 Hopla!" from 1980.
This piece is a lithograph and is characterized by Kulhánek's distinctive style, in which he depicts human anatomy in an almost baroque, powerful, and sometimes grotesque manner.
Theme: The image shows playing children (or putti) in a stylized space, where dynamics and physical strength take center stage. Portraits or faces are often incorporated at the top of the composition, a recurring element in his 'Interior' series in which he explores the human condition and interaction.
Meaning: The title "Hopla!" refers to the jump or movement of the children. Kulhánek was known for his critical view of society, which often shone through in the portraits in the background of his compositions.
