The oeuvre of the leading Czech avant-garde photographer Eugen
Wiskovsky (1888-1964) is not large in size or subject range, but it
is noteworthy in its originality, depth of ideas, and mastery.
Wiskovsky's early New Objectivist works, from the late 1920s and
early 1930s, sought artistic effect in apparently nonaesthetic
objects: His inventive lighting and cropping allowed their
elementary lines to stand out, to lose their worldly associations
and take on potential metaphorical meanings. In his dynamic
diagonal compositions, Wiskovsky was among the most radical
practitioners of Czech Constructivism. His landscape work is
similarly distinctive. With text from Vladimmr Birgus, a historian
of photography and the head of the Institute of Creative
Photography at Silesian University, Opava, in the Czech Republic.
