The book presents a selection of the latest works by Erika Bornová, one of today’s most distinctive artists and a teller of forceful and multifaceted stories. Her sculptural cycle dedicated to Alma Mahler and her men, her captivating acrylic self-portraits, her imaginative drawings of Plants or Aquatic Creatures – they all reflect, with a sense of hyperbole, the banality of life. Working with her distinctive passion, Bornová attempts to untangle the complex web of people’s imagination and dreams while engaging in a serious exploration of our complicated relationship to the world, to others, to ourselves, and to nature. With expert texts on her work by Martina Pachmanová and Otta M. Urban.
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.
