Outdoor sculpture by Adolf Ryszka in Hořice

The work was created during one of the international open-air workshops in stone sculpture, often held in Central Europe since the 1960s. There are many post-intervention realisations on Mount Gotard. In Hořice, this tradition was cultivated for a long time. Already at the end of the 19th century, the town became an important centre of Czech sculpture, a sculpture school was established there, and to this day it still houses works by the most prominent Czech sculptors of many generations, including outdoor works. Prague Television devoted a documentary film, 'Metamorfozy kamene', to the creation of Ryszka's work. The sculptor took part in many such international open-air events and large-scale realisations in stone became one of the main currents of his work. In contrast to other forms, in these non-representational works, the artist seeks the energy inherent in the material and brings out the organic analogies of sculptural creation. The compact block of stone in Hořice expresses this to the fullest. In Ryszka's sculptures we can see the inspiration of Henry Moore's work, a similar search for a monumental shape, whose severity is almost always mitigated by the organic streamlining of forms. Here the analogies are the clearest.
