3 Photomontage is always more active than mere photography. The latter only touches on one aspect of action. Only a composition of photographs can provide an adequate picture of the dialectics and dynamics of modern life. Karel Teige, 1932

7 During their stay in Paris in the mid twenties Štyrský and Toyen produced a few beautiful book covers, that are today highlights in the world of modernist book lovers and other 20th century typochondriacs. During , the two artists worked jointly on book covers, and some of these productions undoubtedly figure among the classics of Poetist book design. (Toman). These 9 books established their names as important book designers, not withstanding the rather limited number of these publications. Their return to Prague in 1928 however, marked the beginning of a vast production of designs for book covers, bindings and illustrations by each of them. Štyrský worked for the publishing house Sfinx (B.Janda), while Toyen was invited by Melantrich to illustrate the covers of their editions. It is assumed that, coming back from Paris, they needed this work to provide an income. However, many other artist and architects, such as Èapek, Kalivoda, Krejcar, Kroha, Muzika, Šima, Teige, Tittelbach, Zelenka, were also involved in book design and typography. The spirit of the interbellum, the believe in art for the masses, was no doubt another reason why so many members of the artistic avant-garde participated in these commercial enterprises, and not only for making money with low art in order to be able to pursue high art. Until now the work from both artists in the thirties and forties has remained fairly unknown and the little collection presented in this catalogue is aimed at changing this a little bit. It is not a complete survey by far. Toyen s book design production has been documented by Petr Ladman and his bibliography, recently reprinted in the book Knihy s Toyen (Praha 2003), counts as many as 570 entries, of which 373 published between 1925 and Štyrský s work in book design has as yet not been documented, but the 45 titles described in this catalogue are certainly just a small part of his production. Also, many book covers without signature are attributed to Toyen or Štyrský, but I doubt if we will ever know for sure. And to make things even more complicated: finding these books, after a world war and 40 years of communism, in good condition, with their dust jackets or in original wrappers, is getting more and more difficult. Jindøich Toman s article in Umìní vol. XLVIII, no. 3 (Praha, 2000): The dream factory had a horror division, is to my knowledge the best article so far published on these books and the quote above is taken from that article, as well as the translation of the quote by Teige, printed at page 3 of this catalogue. The article brought this forgotten part of Štyrský s and Toyen s book art to my attention and I hope it will do the same for the reader of this catalogue. John A.Vloemans.
