The eminent Czech avant-garde artist, Jind ich Šty ský (1899–1942), who was closely allied with the Parisian Surrealists, masterfully investigated the themes of eroticism and dreams in a series of publications between 1930 and 1933. Šty ský believed that in pornography he had found a destabilizing medium that could be used to subvert established social and artistic norms. The culmination of Šty ský’s involvement with pornography was the release of his erotic masterpiece, Emilie Comes to Me in a Dream, in Prague in May 1933. Item #10497
