Group 42
Template:Short description Script error: No such module "For". Template:More footnotes Group 42 (Template:Langx)[1] was a Czech artistic group officially established on 27 November 1942 (though its roots date to 1938–1939, forming in 1940).[2] The group's activity ceased in 1948 (banned by the government at the time),[3] but its influence on Czech literature and Czech art was still evident in further years.
This group was primarily influenced by civilism, cubism, futurism, constructivism, existentialism, and surrealism, and their work revealed a characteristic fascination with technology, evident in their frequent focus on cities, factories, industry, and machines. The human characters are generally common townspeople.
The article The World We Live In (Template:Langx) by Jindřich Chalupecký provided Group 42's primary theoretical foundation.
