"What protected Ladislav Novák most of all the degeneration of Surrealism and the whole of modern art into a scholarly hermétisme and academic exclusiveness was his basic relationship to poetry to all art as an activity which since it's origins has been fundamentally a sensual, material activity. The true medium of art is the living human body. [...] It is the actualization of this corporality and fleshliness which led Novák further, to spoken poetry and to plans for concrete physical actions on the one hand, and on the other hand to physical interventions in written texts and to the visual arts. [...] He took both written and printed texts and wrapped them up, crushed them, tore them, bound them together, sealed them, glued them, dripped them; these were his first pòemes-objets and pòemes-collages. [...] Novák then turned to using this method of intervention on visual material as well." - Jindřich Chalupecky, "The heretical Surrealism of Ladislav Novak" Photograph about a visit at artist's house in Třebíč. In this occasion the artwork was given as a gift by the artist to the collector.
