“It’d be really cool if Michelangelo, Rodin and Bourdelle took a look at my sculpture and congratulated me for doing a great job. And maybe that other guy, you know, Donatello,” quips sculptor and painter Jaroslav Róna with his typical irresistible humour. An iconic figure of Czech modern art, Róna won a commission to create an equestrian statue of a knight on horseback for Moravian Square in Brno. Thus the opportunity to resume the collaboration between this charismatic artist and the renowned documentarist begun ten years previously, when Róna was working on his monument to Franz Kafka in Prague (Description of a Struggle, 2004). With the invaluable assistance of cameraman Miroslav Janek, a documentary dialogue began to take shape over the space of thirty months, during which time the sculpture, entitled Courage, came into being with the help of an architect, stuccoworker, bronze artist and metal chaser. A discussion on the sculpture itself, on substance and things abstract and elusive, on the essence of creative endeavour, and on the courage to accomplish the only thing which, in Róna’s view, really engages and convinces people – action.
