Description from the seller

Jan Saudek The War, 1989
signed on the plate
dimensions: 15 x 21 cm
Offset print?
Probably TASCHEN edition 1997

Jan Saudek (b. 1935) is a renowned Czech photographer, painter, and writer. He is internationally recognized, and his works have been exhibited in prestigious galleries worldwide.

Key information about Jan Saudek:

His works are characterized by a unique, often dreamlike style. He is known for hand-colored photographs that resemble old, aged postcards or paintings.
The main motifs of his work are female nudes, interpersonal relationships, and existential themes such as love, eroticism, solitude, and the passage of time.

Many of his photos were created in the same dilapidated basement in Prague, which served as his studio, becoming his signature feature.

Life and Work: For decades, he created art under the difficult political conditions of Czechoslovakia, which added an extra, rebellious dimension to his work.

Recognition: He has received numerous awards and honors, and his photographs are in the permanent collections of major museums, including the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. and the Centre Pompidou in Paris.

His art is sometimes perceived as controversial due to the bold depictions of nudity and eroticism, but it is valued for its emotional depth and aesthetic vision.
