Název v původním jazyce

Josef Sudek in the Context of Czech photography

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Josef Sudek (1896–1976) was world known Czech photographer. This book, published to accompany his biggest foreign retrospective ever prepared - the exhibition The Intimate World of Josef Sudek at The National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa (28 October 2016 – 19 March 2017) - 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 main essays by Ann Thomas, chief curator of photography collection of the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa, Vladimír Birgus, the head of the Institute of Creative Photography, Silesian University in Opava, and Ian Jeffrey, English historian of photography (all three were curators of this exhibition), is a compelling view of Sudek’s photographs. 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. Main essays by Ann Thomas (Poet of Prague and Magician of Light), Vladimír Birgus ((Josef Sudek in the Context of Czech Photography), and Ian Jeffrey (Bohemian Odyssey: Josef Sudek’s Publishing Projects) are accompanied by reminiscencies by two former assistants, texts about Sudek’s carbon prints (Christophe Vischi), mounted photographs (Jan Mlčoch) and art of his friends (Vojtěch Lahoda), approximately 150 plates and dozens of illustrations, chronology and the most comprehensive lists of Sudek’s exhibitions and books. The book is distributed by Harry N. Abrams, New York and Yale University Press, London. The authors of the book: Vladimír Birgus, Ann Thomas, Ian Jeffrey
