Josef Sudek and Czech Photography

Friday, September 18, 2009—Sunday, February 28, 2010
Harrison Photography Gallery 365
Free Exhibition

Josef Sudek (1896-1976) is Czechoslovakia's best known and influential creative photographer. He worked from the 1910s through the 1960s, producing ethereal landscapes, modernist still lifes, and sweeping panoramas of the city of Prague. Subsequent Czech photographers acknowledged Sudek's pioneering work and contributed, in their own way, to the rich photographic legacy of their country. Among them were the modernists Frantisek Drtikol and Jaromir Funke, the surrealist Eva Fuka, and the contemporary figure-photographer Jan Saudek. These and other individuals working in what is now the Czech Republic created one of the strongest contributions to twentieth-century photography in all of Europe.

The exhibition of about 75 photographs is drawn from the MIA's own holdings and three private collections.
