... Pražák did not only paint and draw: he also created objects, which equally mirror the various stages of his work. This is also true in connection with projects related to architecture. The coloured lines, which allude to the body in the pictures, receive a new meaning: they interpret the formal and functional aspects of the buildings and their inner life... (excerpt of the lead text in the monograph)

[...] Pražák hat jedoch nicht nur gemalt und gezeichnet: er schuf auch Objekte, in denen seine verschiedenen Werkphasen sich ebenso wiederspiegeln. Das Gleiche gilt auch für seine Werke, die im Zusammenhang mit der Architektur stehen. Die Farbströme, die in den Gemälden körperbezogen sind, erhalten hier eine neue Bedeutung: sie interpretieren die formalen und funktionalen Aspekte der Bauten wie das Geschehen im Inneren...
