This beautiful publication presents a cross-section of the work of ceramic artist, sculptor, painter, and educator Jindra Viková.
As Viková herself explains, however, the book is not a retrospective sampling of her past work, but rather a kind of diary of emotions, thoughts, and ideas, expressed through drawings, collages, sculptures, or reliefs.
In her work, Viková likes to face unexpected challenges, and the use of new techniques is always an impulse that not only shifts her work in terms of form but that primarily challenges her to explore new themes and motifs.
In this, she quite naturally follows in the footsteps of Běla Kolářová and her playful passion for experimentation, through which she expresses far more serious issues than may seem at first glance.
Viková’s works can be found in leading public and private collections throughout the world, including Art Matters in Atlanta, the Victoria Museum in Melbourne, the Auckland Museum Institute, and the Igal and Diane Silber Collection at the Laguna Art Museum in Laguna Beach, California.
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.
