Описание:

During a legendary career that spanned almost six decades, Czech photographer Josef Sudek, the "poet of Prague," developed a craftsmanship and technical virtuosity that was unparalleled among his contemporaries. Early in his career, though the prevailing art movements of the 1920s and '30s included cubism, surrealism, and the Czech avant-garde, Sudek sought his own approach characterized by a striking mastery of light. Copiously illustrated with photographs from the Art Gallery of Ontario--which will also exhibit the photographs through December 2012--this book takes readers on a journey through Sudek's life and work. Included here are essays by some of the foremost writers on Sudek's work, including curator Maia-Mari Sutnik, photo-historian Antonin Dufek, "Canadian Art" editor Richard Rhodes, and photographer Geoffrey James. Sudek's photographs also feature heavily in Irish novelist John Banville's "Prague Pictures: Portraits of a City," which forms a biographical portrait of the photographer, and several excerpts from the book are included here. Rounding out the volume is a detailed biographical chronology by Czech art historian and Sudek expert Anna Farova. The photographs in this book cover every stage of Sudek's extensive career, shedding light on his lifelong quest to perfect his photographic vision.

Описание: Josef Sudek (1896 1976) was a Czech photographer, best known for his photographs of Prague. He was a bookbinder before turning to photography after losing his right arm in WWI. This book, published to accompany an exhibition, examines how Sudek s photographs reflect his relationship to the world around him, from intimate explorations of cherished objects and views through his window to his night walks through the streets of Prague and its periphery, as well as excursions into the surrounding countryside. With essays, reminiscences by two former assistants, and stunning illustrations, here is a compelling view of Sudek s photographs, and the art of his friends and fellow artists. Sudek s legacy includes some of the 20th century s most haunting images of nature, monuments, city streets, and objects all transformed by his sensitivity to the power of light to reveal and the power of darkness to render all impenetrable."
