Eduard Ovčáček

Eduard Ovčáček (5 March 1933 – 5 December 2022) was a Czech graphic artist, sculptor, lettrist, painter, and professor at the University of Ostrava.

[3] Between 1957 and 1963 he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Bratislava, Slovakia under professor Peter Matejka.

Already at that time he was strongly involved in graphic art and started to use it in order to express his own artistic potential.

His serigraphic works often contain and mix classical scripture, once-and-future signs and human, often very erotic and suggestive, figures.

His series Lesson by Great A was created immediately after the invasion of Warsaw Pact armed forces to Prague, in the moment when the censorship has not yet been firmly re-established.

This series of artworks thus had the chance to be published in Czechoslovak magazine "Literární listy" and in some other periodicals in the Czechoslovakia and abroad.

First author's summary exhibition of lettrist photographs (often with erotic motives) took place in 2009 in Ostrava, Czech Republic.
