Zdenek Sykora Obituary
Sykora's aide Veronika Hudeckova says he died at his home in the town of Louny on Tuesday evening.
Born Feb 3, 1920, in Louny, Sykora's style gradually developed from landscape paintings in the late 1940s to geometrical abstract structures. In the 1960s, he became one of the first artists in the world to use computers to help him create geometric abstract paintings.
Later on, Sykora turned to a less strict system of line paintings with lines of color moving across large canvasses in random directions.
His paintings are owned by galleries around the globe, including the Pompidou Center in Paris.

Please accept my sympathy for your loss. During this time, may all be comforted by the wonderful hope: "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more. Neither mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away."

Dear Christine:
I learned recently of your Mother's homegoing. I see where you got all your many talents and zest for life. May she rest in peace and thank you for your everyday testimony of living for others.
Sincerely,
