Review of: Krzysztof Fijalkowski ? Michael Richardson ? Ian Walker, Surrealism and Photography in Czechoslovakia On the Needles of Days
Original language description
The main thesis of the monograph is the idea of the originality and continuity of Czech Surrealist photography that relies on the search for sur-reality in documentary records of our immediate surroundings. However convincing this thesis can sound, it isbased on an admitted selectivity of theme. In their approach, the authors follow on from the similar position of Petr Kral and the historian of photography Antonin Dufek. They are the most frequently quoted authorities in the monograph, while the art historians Lenka Bydžovska and Karel Srp are mentioned only selectively. Still more arresting is the absence, apart from a single mention in the introduction, of references to the work of suchinternational scholars as Matthew S. Wittkovsky and especially Rosalind Krauss, who in the 1980s completely changed the approach of art history towards the Surrealist photograph.
