Josef Sudek

Josef Sudek (1896-1976)

Synopsis

Josef Sudek, known as the “poet of Prague,” was a distinguished Czech photographer renowned for his distinctive artistic style, developed after moving beyond modernism's constraints. This book traces his creative evolution from the 1930s, where he captured the external world, to the 1940s when he developed a unique approach, exemplified by his iconic studio window photographs. These images featured a view through the window with a still-life setup on the ledge. Despite the impact of World War II and postwar socialist realism, Sudek's work remained uninterrupted, demonstrating his resilience and commitment to his craft.
