A beautiful publication featuring unique photographs and documents looks at the cultural and historical context of Germany’s legendary Bauhaus school. This important center of avant-garde learning, whose teachers included artists such as Walter Gropius, Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinsky, Josef Albers, László Moholy-Nagy and Adolf Meyer, was a place of meeting and mutual inspiration for artists, designers and architects who would later go on to fundamentally influence the shape and direction of 20th-century art. Thanks to many years of intense research, art historian Markéta Svobodová has managed to provide a captivating portrait of the Bauhaus’s inimitable atmosphere and above all the creative environment in the fields of art, design and architecture, into which the school’s Czechoslovak students injected their own original ideas and progressive techniques. For many of these students, this book is the first time their work has been given scholarly attention.
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.
