Weekday in Czech photography 50. and the 1960’s and 1960’s Years

Lukas Bart

The book presents a significant stream of Czech photography of the 1950s and 1960s. In the 18th century, the name of everyday photography or the poetry of everyday life in photography came into being. These images, mostly taken in various street corners of our cities, enchanted a huge number of people in their time through print and image publications. Their creators then had an unusually large audience, and also the popularity that today’s artists, with perhaps with few exceptions, can only dream of. The time lived by photography and lived by ness. Many works, however, still captivate not only with their craftsmanship and sophistication, but also with hindsight also dense information about this interesting time, seen today by the prism of a certain nostalgia. Jiří Jeníček, Václav Jírů, Jan Beran, Karel Otto Hrubý, Marie Šechtlová, Erich and Milada Einhorn, Miloš Budík and Pavel Dias are among the foremost Czech and Moravian photographers of the period under review. The publication is closed by a selective bibliography, a name register and an English tesumé.
