The works of Ion Bârladeanu and
Miroslav Tichy are on display at Galerie Anne de Villepoix. Romanian artist Bârladeanu’s collages are a rare example of subversive art created during communism, and his collages examine political and cultural issue through a hybrid ironic style: a mix of Dadaism, surrealism, and pop art. Czech artist Tichy, never one to succumb to communist power, initially studied painting and then photography in the 1950s. From the end of the 1960s he began to take photographs mainly of local women, in part with cameras he made by hand. He later mounted them on hand-made frames, added finishing touches in pencil, and thus moved them from photography in the direction of drawing. The result is works of strikingly unusual formal qualities, which disregard the rules of conventional photography. They constitute a large oeuvre of poetic, dreamlike views of feminine beauty in a small town under the Czechoslovak Communist régime.
