Description
In a career that spanned nearly seven decades, Josef Sudek, one of the masters of twentieth-century photography, created his own solitary world of shadow and light, of theme and variation. The more than 100 images in this monograph convey the spirit of Prague as well as the spirit of Sudek.Tags

"Josef Sudek: Poet of Prague" is a sumptuously beautiful publication presenting the life and works of this most important photographer. Sudek's work is inextricably tied to this city and to his poignant life story. Whether looking at his pictures of Prague street life, or his panoramic views of the city, or merely the wonderfully intimate views through his studio window, one is always aware of the tragic details of his life story, told here so well. Anyone interested in the history of photography, will find an important piece of that story in this work.
