Born in Prague, Šetlík was the son of the founder of the pharmaceutical company Spojené farmaceutické závody [cs] Ivan Šetlík, a political dissident who was condemned to two and a half years in prison for espionage in a show trial.[1] The mother was an employee in the administration of the Czech Philharmonic.[1]
Šetlík studied Art History and Aesthetics at Charles University, graduating in 1953.[2] After serving three years of military service in the army auxiliary battalions (PTP) as an "enlightenment officer", he got a doctorate in History and Theory of Art at the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences.[2] He then worked at the National Gallery Prague until 1964, when he became editor-in-chief of the art magazine Výtvarná práca, which he characterized as a liberal and pluralistic magazine also covering the western art scene.[2] In 1968 he was nominated director of the Museum of Decorative Arts, a role he lost in 1971, when because of the normalization he was declassed as a low-rank museum employee, being also forbidden to publish anything.[2]
Married to actress Zuzana Talpová until her death in 2005, Šetlík died on 28 January 2023, at the age of 93.[1][2] He was the cousin of artist Adriena Šimotová.[1]
