Images Gone with Time

More about the book

Images Gone With Time is an unparalleled documentary of a region and an epoch in Central Europe little known in Western Europe and North America. While the book is most useful as an archive of history and cultural anthropology, the photographic artistry of Igor Grossmann has been compared favorably with that of leading photographers, like Ansel Adams and Henri Cartier-Bresson. Milan Rufus, famed Slovak poet and candidate for the Nobel Prize in literature, supplied the introduction. Rufus, whose poetry is rich in unusual metaphors, searches for solutions to contemporary dilemmas in timeless, humanistic and spiritual wisdom. Martin Slivka offers an authoritative commentary
