This new book presents highlights of one of the Czech Republic's key collections of interwar modern art, at the Gallery of West Bohemia in Pilsen, with reproductions and essays on their artistic and cultural context.

The collection of Czech interwar modern art at the Gallery of West Bohemia in Pilsen presents a wide spectrum of artistic trends from 1918 to 1938, from early pre-WWI Modernism, Expressionism and Poetism to avant-garde experiments and Surrealism. Great attention is also paid to social art and the so-called New Objectivity.

The collection, built up mainly in the 1960s and 1970s by the Gallery's first director, Oldřich Kuba (and expanded ever since), includes works by personalities such as Josef Síma, Jindřich Styrský, Toyen, Frantisek Muzika, Jan Zrzavý, Václav Spála, Emil Filla, Josef Čapek, Bohumil Kubista, Frantisek Tichý, Otakar Coubine, Antonín Procházka and others.

The forthcoming publication offers a wealth of visual material in the form of reproductions of all the works included, together with interpretative texts introducing their authors and explaining the origin and content of the works and their significance in a broader cultural and historical context.
