Notes
Anděl, The avant-garde across media p.144ff. The author's first bookpublication, influenced by Josef Čapek, as well as the Devětsil movement. "For the Linie artists, Josef Bartuška in particular, Čapek's graphic work was a significant, even if certainly not the only source of inspiration. This is evident in a few designs by Bartuška such as the cover for the collection of poems Velikonoce [Easter] from 1923, which has a decorative motif that draws on Čapek's cover design for Charles Vildrac's book Michael Auclair". (Anděl). With AUTOGRAPH SIGNED SENTIMENT on htitle.
