Frantisek Dostal - The Ghost

undated (cca 1990), gelatine silver print, 17 x 23 cm, hand signed on verso, unframed.


František Dostál (21 July 1938 Prague - 5 December 2022) was a Czech reportage and documentary photographer living in Prague. His most famous works are Letní lidé, which he created between 1968-1990 in Zlenice on the Sázava River. The subject of his work in the last thirty years is mainly the people of Prague streets. His work is characterised by a subtle humour that benefits from the often absurd encounters of several disparate elements in a single image.
