Artistic Style and Legacy

Brunovský's work is characterized by a sense of detail and miniature drawing, which often results in an ornamentalization and a decorative image. His early work exhibited surrealistic tendencies, involving the play of the subconscious and absurdity, while his later work became more evaluative and critical regarding Man in relation to society and himself. He was a co-founder of the international exhibition of original illustrations for children's books, the Bratislava Illustration Biennial, and led the UNESCO-BIB workshop for illustrators from developing countries.
