This book documents the remarkable works the noted Czech sculptor Jiří Příhoda completed over the past decade, while he was living in Austin, Texas. It is both a compendium of extraordinary designs – subtle and profound investigations of space and form – and a probing into the ideas that underlie these works. Richly illustrated, the book includes an insightful essay by Christopher Long and a transcript of an interview he conducted with the artist in the spring of 2021.
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.
