A collection of photographs by the Czech photographer, Josef Sudek, who in portraying Prague and its environs evokes a deep sense of humanity and a life rich in emotion. He imbues his subjects with a luminous, even surreal, life of their own. A contemporary of Edward Weston, Man Ray, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy and Alexander Rodchenko, he founded the Czech Photographic Society in 1924 with Joromir Funke and while he embraced the ideal of the avant-garde, working in many of the successive styles that marked the development of Modernism, his photographs have a lyrical and impressionistic quality that earned him the title "poet of Prague".
