Sunday 2. The sculptural and painting work of this important personality of the Czech art culture at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries to comprehensively capture its extraordinary artistic legacy. For the retrospective exhibition ensemble, works from all areas of the artist's work were selected with an emphasis on their context. From the initial period, he remained the central theme of Kotrb's work man; Inspiring for him were current stimuli based on everyday life, personal experiences, civil themes symbolizing interpersonal relationships. In his work he focused on spiritual values affecting human being. In his work it is possible to monitor the development of expression and morphology, direction towards lapidary simplification of forms without the disappearance of objective. Tension and emotional charge are inherent in all areas of his work - sculptures, reliefs, paintings and drawings. The concentration on the essential and concentration of intensity achieved some kotrba in his works of general validity and timeless values. The exhibition emphasizes the main aspects of its lifelong artistic direction not only within the Czech cultural scene, but also in connection with the development of European art since the 1980s. This approach enabled cooperation with the experienced Viennese curator Berthold Ecker. For the first time, a new view of Kotrb's work is provided not only in the context of Czech art culture. Thanks to the project, circumstances have been published that led to the establishment of a sculpture of justice, which stands in front of the administrative court in Brno and a number of only considered but unrealized statues for the city center. It is Czech Television.
