John´s work was fully appreciated after his death in 1972. The documentary film Fruit falling of itself is a fragile and attentive portrait which was realized with John´s wife, also an artist, Adriena Šimotová and his brother Vladimír John. His friends – theoretician of arts Jaromír Zemina and poet and translator Jan Vladislav – complete this portrait with their erudite notice.
