Saudek

More about the book

Internationally famous photographer Jan Saudek is, without question, the most provocative figure in the history of Czech photography and he has become the best-known living Czech photographer. The publication is by far the most comprehensive monograph charting the work and life of this celebrated photographer to date. This exceptional book shows his pictures touching on the most delicate and controversal aspects of human existence, but they are in their totality a celebration of mankind. Rejecting the traditional beauty in his famous nude photographs, Saudek shows the distinctively old women, fat women, children; real people. It is a unique insight into over 4 decades of life and work of this wordwide known artist.
