Prague – Czech painter Zdeněk Sýkora, known for his geometrical paintings and for being among the first artists to use computers in his work, has died aged 91, in Louny, the northern Bohemian city in which he was born. He was among the few contemporary Czech artists well known abroad, and his works are included in permanent art collections such as in the Centre Pompidou in Paris and the MUMOK in Vienna. Sýkora ranks amongst the elite of artists pursuing geometric tendencies in Czech art whose beginnings can be found in the early 1960’s. Born Feb 3, 1920, in Louny, Sykora’s style gradually developed from landscape paintings in the late 1940s to geometrical abstract structures. In the 1960s, he became one of the first artists in the world to use computers to help him create geometric abstract paintings.
