Exhibition summary

This exhibition explores the lesser-known artistic expressions of Pavel Reisenauer (1961–2024), known for his distinctive covers for Respekt magazine. Alongside his iconic magazine work, the exhibition highlights his paintings, free drawings, illustrations, comics, and photographs, offering a comprehensive view of his artistic practice.

Curatorial context

Pavel Reisenauer (1961–2024) is widely recognized for his distinctive covers and illustrations for the weekly magazine Respekt and drawings for the Orientace supplement of Lidové noviny. However, his contribution to print media represented only a portion of his artistic output, which encompassed a broader spectrum of paintings, free drawings, illustrations, comics, and photographs that were rarely published. This exhibition aims to illuminate these less-seen aspects of Reisenauer’s work, presenting them alongside his well-known magazine contributions. It seeks to provide a more complete understanding of his artistic practice and to explore the relationship between his 'applied' magazine art and his other creations, particularly his paintings. The exhibition questions whether his paintings were a purely personal pursuit, an attempt to emulate his popular newspaper illustrations, or works that have been unjustly overlooked. Prepared in collaboration with Respekt magazine, the exhibition features a wide selection of black-and-white and color covers from Respekt and front pages from Orientace, alongside a number of paintings, drawings, digital prints, and photographs.
