SUDEK, JOSEF (1896-1976)
Untitled (landscape). Pigment print, 4 1/4x3 inches (10.8x7.6 cm.), with Sudek's signature, in pencil, on mount recto; with two tissue overleaves and notations, in pencil, on the second. 1922-1924
- Notes: Josef Sudek is celebrated for the luminous landscapes and still lifes he created during a 40 year-long career. He initially set out to be a bookbinder but, after being injured in combat during the first World War and losing his right arm, he shifted vocations. As a young artist Sudek was influenced by painting, particularly the romantic Czech landscape painting of the turn-of-the-century. To best replicate the soft and subtle tones of these works, he briefly utilized a photographic technique known as pigment printing in the 1920s. His masterful technique and sensitivity to light and shade infuse his work with a haunting lyricism that amplifies photographic expression as we know it.
