Jindrich Styrsky
Emilie Comes to Me in a Dream <p> Reprint of original book published in 1933. New York, 1997. Paperback. Edition limited to 1000 copies. 12 color collages. <p> Jindrich Styrsky's collage novels are among the most adventurous works of avant-garde erotic literature of the time, even when judged on an international scale. His 1933 publication, Emilie comes to me in a dream - with collages that inventively exploit fragments of older pornographic photographs - is among the most adventurous works of avant-garde erotic literature of the time, perhaps has an analogue only in the photographs of Hans Bellmer. It is no wonder that this publication was not generally available, nor was it supposed to get into the hands of minors. After all, it was in this same year that movie theatres showed the legendary Czech film Ecstasy by Gustav Machaty, which evoked mass outrage and even more mass enthusiasm because of a short, soft-focus scene with the naked Hedy Kieslerova, later the Hollywood star Hedy Lamarr. Styrsky's daring publication symptomatically documented avant-garde artists; inflated interest in erotica and sex.
