Though he is best known for his Art Nouveau and Art Deco nudes,
when Frantisek Drtikol (1883-1961) passed way, he left more
portrait photography than anything else--thousands of images made
between 1910 and the 1930s. This ambitious book is the first ever
devoted to those portraits alone. The selection, culled from some
2,000 in Prague's National Archive, presents a gallery of eminent
Czechs and Slovaks during the first Czechoslovak Republic, as well
as prominent visitors to the country from many walks of life. Apart
from their pure documentary value, these images reflect Drtikol's
efforts to capture his sitters' inner selves, bridging idealism and
materialism. The artist has also been the subject of "The
Photographer Frantisek Drtikol" and "Photographs by Frantisek
Drtikol"; this volume is compiled and written by Josef Moucha.
