Catalogue of an exhibition held at the National Gallery of Prague, April 19-July 28, 2019

"The exhibition seeks to present Josef Šíma’s early work from his beginnings in Brno to his encounter with the poets of the remarkable and today somehow legendary French group Le Grand Jeu and show to what extent his involvement in this adventure was one of the key impulses for his work. In the brief period of 1929-1931, Šíma became the chief artist of the group and the other members-poets were busy interpreting his artworks." -- National Gallerys website
