The extensive book Post Scriptum documents the artistic output of Jiří Sozanský, including drawings, prints, oils, sculptures and collages from the 1970s to the most recent works. The extensive text section includes the artist's memories of his childhood and adolescence during the totalitarian period, his civic attitudes and artistic development, and his encounters with personalities who influenced him up to the present day. Significant is the textual and visual image of his mother, which does not fulfil the usual expectations; it is more a record of his professional life in unfavourable or less unfavourable times, which began before his longed-for and won entry to the Academy of Fine Arts. The mother in the book is not a rescue, an idyllic force, a sentimental memory. It is an existing fact of life, it cannot be denied, nor transcended, nor idealized. Yet the book is a tribute to the mother.
The book Post Scriptum by artist Jiří Sozanský was published by Symposion. The Museum of Memory of the 20th Century also collaborated on the publication. It was presented during the Open Day at the House of Pážat on 19 June 2021 at 4 pm. On this occasion, Jiří Sozanský also exhibited a series of ten paintings inspired by the life stories of Franz Kafka and his sisters who were victims of the Holocaust.
