The painted way of Květa Monhartová unfolded from a realistic concept of a figure and especially a portrait to a relaxed expressive expression in the spirit of new figuration in the 1960s and 1970s and in recent decades to postmodern picture stories where, in addition to human figures, the role and anthropomorphic forms of animals and things play important roles. The works reflect the intellectual creation of the author and her concept of a man in the spirit of Jung´s deep psychology. She has participated in a number of group and thematic exhibitions (especially P89) in Bohemia and abroad, she has been exhibiting independently since the mid-1970s (Volyně, Pilsen, Prague, Písek, Rokycany, Františkovy Lázně, Regensburg, Copenhagen), her last independent exhibitions were in Klatovy (GKK, Galerie U Bílého jednorožce, 2004) and in Domažlice (Špillar's Brothers Gallery, 2006).
