Filla went through his „HEADS “ by his fingers first, felt them from every side and created them as statues at first (for instance Head I., 1913 and Head II., 1914). What is special about them is that they are built as big, free, and closed three-dimensional statues, which were nevertheless created from building stones that were obtained from simultaneous views in movement around all sides of a real head.
On the contrary, the graphic folio Head of a Man from the year 1935 represents a maverick organic shape, it is a phantasy of an erotic organism, which contains in itself the phallic element (the nose) and the vaginal element (the open mouth). The drawing is characterized by the linearity emphasized to the maximum “by one draw”, typical for the graphics of figures and heads of Filla´s latter period.
