This exhibition explores the early activities of Fotoklub Praha, founded in 1922, and Josef Sudek's involvement with the group. It showcases mounted photographs from the 1920s, highlighting the 'pure photography' movement's emphasis on light and simple subjects.
Fotoklub Praha was established in 1922 by a group of aspiring amateur photographers, including Josef Sudek, Adolf Schneeberger, and other notable authors of the time. The club's activities spanned approximately three years, guided by the principles of the Czech-American photographer D. J. Růžička, who championed the 'inviolability of the negative' and 'pure photography.' This approach prioritized light itself as the principal motif, often focusing on very simple, unadorned subjects. The exhibition presents a collection of works from this formative period, featuring Josef Sudek’s mounted photographs from the 1920s, which later influenced his renowned 'puřidla' series in the 1960s. The display also includes photographs by other members of Fotoklub Praha, offering a comprehensive look at the club's aesthetic and artistic contributions during its active years.
Admission is CZK 40 for a full ticket and CZK 20 for a concession. A 'BUY TICKET' link is provided. The exhibition is located at the Josef Sudek Gallery.
