In these works Jiˇr i Koláˇr,  using his favorite technique, collage on cardboard, addresses the iconographic theme of the female nude through a revision of Giorgione’s Venus (c. 1505) and Goya's Maja desnuda (1800). This revision makes visible in the work the world of emotions and feelings that arise from the male mind in his view of the female world. As such, in Collage da fori the normal locations of Venus’s face, breast and pubis are altered to indicate the radical change that the senses provoke in the viewer, mixing the symbolic elements of intellectual, maternal and physical love; in Se gli occhi potessero graffiare, on the other hand, the determined white signs that cover Maja’s body represent the volition to physically possess the woman.
