[edit] Literary work
Kaminský is associated with the literary group Lumír. His verses are about disappointment in love and social injustice but he also wrote humorous, ironic poems and texts for a comedy theatre. Another motive was his birth-place area.
Kaminský also translated from French (Molière) and German (Schiller).
