Dubbed the “poet of Prague,” Josef Sudek (1896–1976) was one of the most important and celebrated of Czech photographers. Sudek produced his best work during his middle-aged years, having grown up and out of the rules of modernism and into a style of his own. Whereas his photographs from the 1930s are mainly a reflection of the external world, by the 1940s he was returning to himself, finding his own unique creative path. It was during this period that he made his most famous photograph, a view of the world seen through his studio window, the window ledge doubling as a stage for still-life objects―a setup which he repeated to great effect. Not even the pressures of World War II and the difficult postwar years―including the demands of socialist realism in the arts―interrupted the continuity of his oeuvre, documented in this back-in-print volume.

I did not notice when ordering it that it was actually pocket sized making it hard to get a real feel for the images of an amazing photographer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent small book
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 12, 2011
Verified Purchase
This book deserves to be rated highly simply because it is very inexpensive and attractive. For the price you cannot expect it to represent all of Sudeks work, but the selection draws upon many themes, periods and styles; albeit no theme is treated comprehensively. The binding is atrociously made, the cover is not well attached, some of the pages are very tight, but the book is well printed and the format is good (but small).

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 25, 2018

The small Phaidon paperback is in French and unfortunately my French is very limited. Careful when purchasing as the multilisting isn't entirely clear.

Printing is fine but the binding is a little ropey.
