His animated films may be widely regarded as some of the best ever made, but it's remarkably hard to find examples of the graphic art and sculpture of Jan Švankmajer. I recently ordered Baradla Cave, a novel by his wife and collaborator Eva Švankmajerová, which features some of his collages.
The great but long-defunct blog Giornale Nuovo has other images, including some of his sculptures (click on the images for links).
Baradla Cave also features a couple of coloured crayon drawings by Švankmajerová.
Her poster for Švankmajer's Alice:
Finally, found at the ever-astonishing A Journey Round My Skull, an image by Švankmajerová from their collaborative book Anima Animus Animation (which I would really like to get hold of).
If you haven't seen any of Švankmajer's films, maybe start with this one.
