Tomáš Lahoda is one of the most versatile artists today. Working with an absolute mastery of his craft, he alternates between virtuoso realism and abstract painting, and also has a close relationship with performance art – as evidenced by the richly illustrated publication titled Voilà, which presents a selection of his works to date. Lahoda often works in series, each devoted to a particular subject such as a critique of contemporary consumer society, the forms and changing face of kitsch, or interpretations of the world of advertising. His work is characterized by playfulness, irony, and satire, but always with Lahoda’s sense of perspective, understanding of art theory, and in particular his knowledge of art history.
Among other things, this representative monograph hopes to introduce Lahoda’s work to domestic audiences, for his art is better known abroad, where he exhibits most frequently and where his works can be found in the collections of many different museums and galleries.
Czech Photography of the 20th Century, published simultaneously in Czech and English versions, is the first book to present the main trends, figures, and works of Czech photography from the beginning to the end of the last century to such a large extent. Its 517 plates include not only the most important, well-known photographs and photomontages, but also works that have long been forgotten or are published for the first time. The book is arranged in seventeen chapters, supplemented with chronologies of the most important events in twentieth-century Czech photography and history.
