The members of the Sursum group were the art theoretician Emil Pacovský and three graphic artists – Jan Konůpek, František Kobliha and Josef Váchal. Although the group was only active for a short time, it nevertheless left an important mark on the development of Czech graphic art. The symbolist works of its members explore the inner life of humans, theosophy, Christian mysticism, women as mysterious and fateful beings, magic, occultism, legends and fairy-tales. Powerful literary influences on the group included authors such as Karel Hynek Mácha, Karel Hlaváček, Otakar Březina and more.
