Jan Kotík (1916, Turnov – 2022, Berlin) does not need to be introduced either as the son of the painter Pravoslav Kotík, or as a painter, graphic artist and industrial designer, or as a founding member of Group 42, editor of Tvar articles, enthusiastically interested in Eastern philosophy, emigrant , who worked as an external docent at West German universities, or as a teacher at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague, an important representative of 20th century Czech fine art. His works are part of the collections of a number of Czech and international galleries. Among the world's, let's name, for example, the National Gallery in Stockholm, Kunstmuseum Bochum, Stiftung Preußischer Kulturbesitz, Berlin, Albright Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo, USA).
