= Vloemans 18; Primus cat. 285; Global Avantgarde Czechoslovakia 1; Toman p.80; Le Fonds Paul Destribats 175; Bolliger VI, 833. "(...) Život [Life], published in December 1922, completed the transition of the Devětsil program to the resolutely international avant-garde orientation. Technically, Život was published as a second year of a periodical of the same name, although both its contents and its design were dramatically different from the rest of the run and established its autonomy. (...) The cover is the first example of a collective photomontage and the first Czech avant-garde photomontage book cover" (Vloemans).
