Stěhovaci Kabinet 1934

"Stěhovaci Kabinet" (1934) is a photomontage by Czech artist Jindrich Styrsky. A woman stands in a provocative pose next to a giant smokestack-like tower that appears to be growing from the hindquarters of a bear, with a human face and a disembodied hand holding a large light bulb emerging from the side of the tower. This surrealistic work is characteristic of the artist's style, which often involved manipulating found imagery to create unsettling and often humorous juxtapositions. The work reflects the influence of the Dadaist movement, which Styrsky encountered during his travels to Germany.
