Viera Kraicová often worked with the archetype of the head, onto which she projected her momentary psychic states and moods. Her heads move on the frontier of concreteness and abstraction; they express intensive emotion with economical gestural motions. Her small-scale gouaches from the second half of the 1960s are among this artist’s finest works.
