Josef Gocar The Gocar Clock

Gocar was the most prolific of the Czech Cubists. He worked mostly on architecture, town planning and furniture design and created only a handful of smaller objects. The clock – designed for actor Otto Boleska, who commissioned Gocar to furnish his private sitting room – is a masterpiece of early Czech Cubism. With its dramatic angles and slicing planes, it is a miniature memorial to the whole Czech Cubist movement.
