Karel Teigeavant-garde books of the 20th century

This is the last catalogue in the Vloemans ‘special collection’ series, devoted to Czech avant-gardebooks of the first half of the 20th century. It is entirely devoted to Karel Teige (1900-1951), who,without doubt, was the most important figure of the Czech avant-garde movement in the interbellum.He was not only a critic, designer, theoretician, photomontagist and editor, but also the moving spiritof the Czech avant-garde of the ‘twenties and ‘thirties, the way Breton was in France, Van Doesburg inHolland, Marinetti in Italy, Janco in Rumania, Gropius in Germany, Peeters in Belgium, Kassak inHungary. They all knew each other, whether through personal visits or the exchange of their periodicals.Teige was of great importance on the international scene also.In Timothy Benson’s and Eva Forgác’s preface to ‘Between Worlds. A sourcebook of central Europeanavant-gardes 1910-1930’ (MIT Press 2002) they write: ‘An anthology of this sort can never convey thefull experience of a text’s visual impact or its tactile existence, the physical medium in which it appears,whether a cheaply printed broadside or a luxuriously appointed volume. Yet perhaps in no other areawere artists more sensitive to the expressive potential of such details as layout and design, illustrationsand even paper used. Among the authors we consider, El Lissitzky, Lajos Kassák, Lászlo Moholy-Nagy,and Karel Teige were most responsible for a complete transformation of the page, one that would bewidely influential throughout the entire century’.Teige’s first graphic contribution appeared in ‘Die Aktion’, 1917 (when aged 17), and in 1920 IvanSuk’s book ‘Lesy a ulice’ was published with three linocuts by Teige. Soon afterwards however, heunderstood that his artistic capabilities were too limited to become a famous artist and directed hisattention towards typography, book design, prose and poetry, art criticism and architecture.In October 1920 the art association ‘Devìtsil’ was founded, with Teige as the driving force, togetherwith Adolf Hoffmeister (secretary) and Vladislav Vanèura (president) and in 1921 Teige produced hisfirst book cover for Jaroslav Seifert’s ‘Mìsto v Slzách’. 1922 saw the publication of the ‘Zivot’ almanac(as a matter of fact the second year of the magazine with the same name), with a photomontage frontcover by Teige, Krejcar, Feurstein and Šima. In the same year the ‘Devìtsil’ almanac was published,with typography by Teige.From then on more and more books were published with title pages, colophons or publisher’s devicesdesigned by Teige, at first together with his friend Mrckvièka. In 1925 Jan Fromek founded the publishingcompany ‘Odeon’, which became the publication forum of ‘Devìtsil’, very often designed by Teige.From 1927-1931 Odeon published ‘ReD’, Teige famous magazine in his exceptionally beautifultypography with numerous contributions by his hand. Another groundbreaking publication was Nezval’sbook ‘Abeceda’, with Teige’s typography incorporating Paspa’s photographs of Milcá Mayerova ‘dancing’the alphabet (Praha, J. Otto, 1926). In the early years of the ‘thirties Teige became interested in surrealismand started creating surrealist book covers, often with the use of photomontage. In 1934 he became amember of the ‘Surrealistická skupina v ÈSR’. Fine examples of Teige’s surrealist book art are the twobooks by Nezval ‘Praha s prsty dìsté’ and ‘Zena v mnozném èisle’, both published by Borový, Prague1936.However, Teige was never invited to design an official publication, such as a memorial volume, aninternational exhibition catalogue, for example. (they were mostly commissioned to Sutnar). He had towork with little means, with material found in ordinary printing companies, and for small publisherswho used cheap paper for their publications. It is both his limitation and his strength.This catalogue does not pretend to give a complete survey of all of Teige’s printed work. It contains thebooks and periodicals we have in stock or have handled during the past 30 years. After 1938 in particular,as a communist, Teige had problems working and despite the communist takeover in 1948 that situationdid not change, although it is likely that some covers and/or books designed by him were publishedanonymously. In 1935 Teige started to create collages, which he continued to do until his early death in1951.
