Named Best History Book in the 2002 Golden Light Awards
Photographic Book of the Year competition sponsored by the Maine
Photographic Workshops. Not until the fall of the communist regime
in 1989 and the end of Czechoslovakia's cultural isolation did the
world begin to appreciate the Czech avant-garde photographers of
the first half of the twentieth century. This first survey of Czech
avant-garde photography introduces the important work of Frantisek
Drtikol, Jaromir Funke, Jaroslav Rossler, Jindoich styrsky, Josef
Sudek, and numerous others whose work made Czech photography
synonymous with visions of modernity. The essays introduce the
period and explore the background and connections among the
photographers. Biographical profiles are also included. But the
book's main attraction is its outstanding collection of duotone and
color images, many published here for the first time. The Czech
edition of this book received the "Best Photographic Publication of
1999-2000" award from Primavera Fotografica in Barcelona and from
Month of Photography in Bratislava and was one of six finalists for
the 2001 Kraszna-Krausz Photography Book Award.
