Abstract

This contribution to the conference deals with the work of the artists Naděžda Plíšková and Rudolf Němec. These artists, whose main creative period was the 1960s and 1970s, are linked by several features.

For example, they were both members of the Crusaders' School of Pure Humour Without Jokes, and there was also the fact that they were both endowed not only with artistic but also with literary talent, specifically poetic. However, they are not just ""rhyming artists""; in the literary field they achieved the same success as in their graphic works.

Their talents are interconnected or complement each other. Not only are their collections of poetry complemented by their own graphic work and thus form a single artistic whole, but the two elements can also serve to complement each other, as a kind of guideline to reading either the textual or the pictorial material.

If the recipient is not satisfied with seeing, he or she can read (or vice versa) and so understand their work better or more easily.
