Lithograph Oldrich KULHANEK "The Search for an Identity" 1992

"The Search for Identity" is a beautiful example of Kulhanek's fascination with the human face and political history.

The Clown Nose: Adding a red nose to a serious, monumental face is a typical sardonic element.

Documentary elements: The handwritten texts and numbers accompanying the portraits give the work the character of a dossier or a scientific investigation. It is as if the artist is attempting to catalog or dissect the "identity" of a people.
