Description: Paris: J.E. Gossens, circa 1937. Original color lithograph, mounted on linen. Condiiton B+. 152 x 100 cm.Likely commissioned for the Czechoslovak Pavilion at the Paris World Exhibition of 1937 Printed by J.E. Gossens, Lille-Paris, [1937]. Text by Vojt?ch Lahoda: ‘Two posters, commissioned from Rykr by the Ministry of Trade, are hung up in all the train stations, in the hallways of the Metro underground system and on street corners, and they are very pleasing to look at’.[ This account informs us that, at the time of the opening of Czechoslovakia’s pavilion at the Paris World Exhibition of 1937, Rykr penetrated, by way of his posters, not only into the realm of the pavilion but also into the public space of Paris. The Czechoslovak pavilion for the International Exposition of Art and Technology in Modern Life, held in Paris in 1937, was designed by Jaromír Krejcar, Zden?k Kej?, Ladislav Sutnar, and Bohumil Soumar. The pavilion contrasted sharply with the stone pavilions of Germany and the Soviet Union on the opposite bank of the river. The four-floor framework of the main building, which had a square layout, was supported by four massive columns. There was a tower with an observation platform, which was accessible via a spiral staircase and protected by a metal canopy. .
