Ladislav Dydek was the founder of the Máj 57 group and made extensive use of color in his works as both an expressive and aesthetic medium. He also designed monumental works for public spaces, particularly in the 1950s and 1960s, and is, for example, the creator of ceramic reliefs for the cinema in Havířov, art installations for the House of Fashion in Prague, and reliefs in a Prague metro underpass.
