Toyen(Marie Cerminova)
(b Prague, 21 Sept 1902; d Paris, 9 Nov 1980). Bohemian
painter, draughtsman and illustrator. She attended the School of Fine
Arts in Prague (1919–20). In 1922 she met the painter Jindrich Styrsky
with whom she collaborated until his death in 1942. In 1923 the couple
joined the avant-garde Devetsil group in Prague. The group numbered
artists, photographers, writers and architects among its members. During
a three-year stay in Paris from 1925 to 1928 Toyen abandoned the Cubist
syntax of her early work and began a series of impastoed semi-abstract
paintings. Fjord (1928; Prague, N.G., Sternberk Pal.), along with
other works of those years, attempted to realize visually the doctrines
of poetic Artificialism in which impressions, feelings and images leave
their imprint in abstract traces and vibrating colour sensations. Work
of this type was given its label by Toyen and Styrsky to differentiate
it from their earlier work and from other abstract forms of contemporary
art. They exhibited their first Artificialist compositions in Paris at
the Galerie de l’Art Contemporain in 1926.
