Description
The
volume revives a major contribution to modern Czech
photography, originally published in 1935. It includes
14 full-page photographs by Funke, Josef Ehm, and their
students at the progressively minded State Graphic School
in Prague. Professorial explanatory notes by a variety
of contemporary experts accompany these images. The
project was driven by pedagogical considerations, and
as such it reveals the wide reach of photography in
education, scholarship and culture. An afterword by
Matthew Witkovsky and Jindřich Toman sets this important
publication into historical context for the first time,
explaining the advances and limitations of modernist
photography in the official culture of interwar Czechoslovakia.
