Jan Kubíček is leading representative of Czech geometric abstraction. Photography is an important part of his work as well, but his photographic work are less well-known to the general public. Kubíček himself did not exhibit his photographs much during his lifetime, but they were given a prominent place in his later retrospective exhibitions and have aroused much interest among collectors and other members of the art-going public. This publications represents the first comprehensive summary of Kubíček’s photographic work – eight series of photographs showing the breadth of his activities, his comprehension of the specific nature of this medium, and his enduring love for it.
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.
