Though Jaroslav Rossler (1902-1990) is one of the most important Czech avant-garde photographers, and his work from the 1920s ranks among the earliest and most radical examples of the application of principles of abstract art and Constructivism to photography, this long-awaited book is the first monograph ever on Rossler's life and art.

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.
