Artist, Czech, born 1936

The image depicts a series of angular and curved lines forming an abstract composition. In the center is a figure with a pointed hat pulling on a string attached to a dog-like creature with sharp teeth. Above, a canopy-like structure suggests a tent, with bird-like shapes perched and in flight nearby, including an owl and other avian figures. The scene evokes a surreal carousel with its round base and whimsical mix of elements that recall a fantastical circus or carnival setting. The muted colors and dynamic strokes enhance the abstract quality, giving life to familiar objects through a dreamlike reinterpretation.
