Jiří Trnka was one of those exceptional artists who, thanks to their all-round talent, not only significantly influenced a number of disciplines, but also successfully combined them in their work. Although his artistic range was considerably broader, his work in the field of illustration and animation was crucial. At the time of the war, he already participated in the creation of a new type of illustration, which fully developed in the 1950s and 1960s. After the war, he became one of the founders of the Czech school of animation, thus creating a counterbalance to the then dominant Disney approach.
