CZECH REPUBLIC
 The poetic dreams
of a coffee lover
New York, January 10, 2002
- Prague based cartoonist/artist Jiri Slíva
visited New York between January 5 and 10 to be on hand for the coinciding
events of the publication of his newest book (by the Avalon Publishing Group)
and the opening of his show at the Czech Center on Madison Avenue. Both
the handsome paperback and the exhibition, bearing the same title: "Café
Fetish: Dreams of a Coffee Lover," brought
ample of the guests' admiration to this prolific and highly respected marshal
of visual poetry. Slíva's collection includes reproductions of oil
paintings, lithographs, etchings, line drawings, and, of course, cartoons.
