Description from the seller
Miroslav Tichý – Forms of Truth / Les Formes du Vrai (2011)
Language: English and French
Text: Gianfranco Sanguinetti
Publisher: KANT
Year of publication: 2011
Pages: Approximately 190 reproductions
Binding: Original hardcover with dust jacket
Condition: Excellent
This publication offers a unique insight into the work of Miroslav Tichý, one of the most significant Czech artists of the 20th century, renowned for his unconventional approach to photography. The book contains approximately 190 reproductions of Tichý’s images, revealing his fascinating and often provocative world.
The photographs primarily document intimate portraits of women and everyday urban scenes, captured with improvised cameras that Tichý built himself. These images are raw, poetic, and often challenging, revealing the beauty and reality of life through the eyes of an outsider observing the world from the margins of society.
The texts by Gianfranco Sanguinetti accompany the photographs, providing deeper insight into Tichý’s philosophy, aesthetic, and unusual methodology. The book is bilingual (English and French) and includes a comprehensive list of reproductions, making it easy to navigate the extensive visual material. Miroslav Tichý’s work is valued not only for its artistic significance but also for its ability to provoke reflection on perception, privacy, and the ethics of photographic representation.
This publication is an exceptional collector’s item for anyone interested in contemporary photography, experimental approaches, and a unique perspective on reality.
Seller's Story
I strive to find and offer you the most interesting items from Prague’s antiquarian bookstores and second-hand shops: autographs, rarities, photographs, bibliophilia, old prints, posters, maps, catalogs, high-quality or sold-out books, as well as fine art.
Prague has always been a meeting point of cultures and languages. Especially during the 20th century, Czechoslovakia was visited by numerous world-renowned artists, writers, scientists, and other notable figures who left their mark here and established connections with local culture or institutions. So the selection here will be rich in provenance — including German, French, English, Russian, or, for example, Italian.
However, I will also aim to highlight more or less well-known Czech artists and noteworthy items — of interest to collectors and art lovers, especially those passionate about autographs, fine art, and related fields.
