Josef Sudek: The Legacy of a Deeper Vision

Josef Sudek (1896-1976)

Synopsis

Czech photographer Josef Sudek, known as the "poet of Prague," had a career spanning nearly six decades where he honed a unique mastery of light, distinct from the art movements of his time like cubism and surrealism. This book, richly illustrated with photographs from the Art Gallery of Ontario, explores Sudek's life and work. It includes essays by notable scholars such as Maia-Mari Sutnik and Antonín Dufek. Excerpts from John Banville’s "Prague Pictures: Portraits of a City" provide additional insights, while Anna Fárová offers a comprehensive biographical chronology of Sudek's extensive career.
