Wikipedia description:
Group 42 (Czech: Skupina 42) was a Czech artistic group officially established in 1942 (although its roots date to 1938–1939, forming in 1940). The group's activity ceased in 1948, but its influence on Czech literature and Czech art was still evident in further years. This group was mainly influenced by civilism, cubism, futurism, constructivism, and a bit by surrealism. Their work revealed a characteristic fascination with technology, evident in their frequent focus on cities, factories, industry, and machines. The human characters are generally common townspeople. The article The World We Live In (Czech Svět, v němž žijeme) by Jindřich Chalupecký provided Group 42's primary theoretical foundation.
