Jirí Salamoun, an important Czech graphic artist, has recorded his dreams in images and words which tell us about life behind the mirror of sleep. Each drawing is accompanied by the author's notes, integrated into the image. Salamoun made these notes originally for himself and only later decided to publish them. In creating this diary of his nights he tells us not only about himself but also about people around him. Aulos, a publisher of fine books and a gallery, focuses on books and prints by Czech and international artists and authors. The works demonstrate the broad spectrum of Czech and international book culture and tradition. The Aulos Bookstore and Gallery is located in the historical center of Prague, in the Old Town. | |||
