Items related to Czech Vision: Avantgarde Photography in Czechoslovakia
When Czechoslovakia finally threw off the Communist regime that had isolated and controlled the country's artistic production from its inception in 1948 until its demise in 1989, a treasure trove of avant garde photography from just before the era of repression was suddenly rediscovered, revealing a group of artists who were as experimental as they were fundamentally Czech. In fact, there is hardly any other area in the history of photography that has received so little attention as the Czech avant-garde work made between the end of World War I and the Communist takeover shortly after World War II. This is particularly astonishing because the country produced such a large number of photography groups and artists. This large-format collection features several hundred works by more than 40 photographers, including Frantisek Drtikol, Jarom r Funke, Jaroslav R ssler, Josef Sudek, Anton Josef Trcka and others.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. Condition: New. A richly illustrated journey through the history of the Czech avant-garde a real treat for all fans of early twentieth-century photography. To this day, few areas in the history of photography have received as little attention as that of Czech photography between the end of World War I and the beginning of the Communist regime in 1948. This is all the more astonishing because, during this period, the country produced such a large number of photographers who managed to translate the modernist vision of this era into a unique visual language.This large-format publication contains 173 major works, in color, by thirty-nine photographers of the Czech avant-garde. Alongside great names such as Franti ek Drtikol, Jaromír Funke, Jaroslav Rössler, Josef Sudek, and Anton Josef Trcka, lesser-known artists can also be discovered. With short biographies of all participating photographers, Czech Vision is not merely an exclusive art book; it can also be used as a reference work, providing an informative overview of the history of the Czech avant-garde between the world wars.
