Jan Saudek

Today I got a illustrated book about Jan Saudek "Theatre of life". Thanks again to you, Michal, my host in Prag. He is photographer for some journals in Prag and his flat was full of wonderful posters (down) and illustrated books. I found a good introduction which describe the very interesting work of this czech photographer.

Jan Saudek. Photographs by Jan Saudek, introduction by Christiane Fricke. Taschen, 1998, 200 pp., hardbound
" ... As always, Saudek's work is a complex, dark, disturbing look at the ways that major issues -- sex, desire, death, innocence, yearning, beauty, aging, the body, sexual politics -- mix and compete in the untidy, arational realm of unfiltered emotion. Spending time with Saudek's images is an unsettling experience, a roller coaster ride of attraction and repulsion, confirmation and confrontation..."
