HOME GRAFIKA ROKU TRIENÁLE VÝSTAVY
To graphic art the area between script and image is not just a theme, it is its home providing its specific graphic language that enables to impart the solid matter with a spiritual dimension and with a consummate validity of a printed message. 124 artists from 39 countries are taking part in this triennial exhibition. It is surely but a small number of all the artists concerned at present with the relationship between script and image.
