Treacherous Fleece 1974

"Treacherous Fleece" is a 1974 mixed media work by Czech artist Jirí Kolár. The piece incorporates human hair, likely from a wig, over an image seemingly cut from a book. This work is characteristic of Kolár's artistic practice, which often used unconventional materials in playful and evocative ways. The dense arrangement of words in the background, likely cut from a newspaper, creates a sense of ambiguity, further enhancing the mysterious and suggestive nature of the image. This piece reflects a broader trend in art during the 1970s, where artists were experimenting with found objects and incorporating elements of popular culture into their work.
