 The Photography of Jan Saudek
One of Saudek's most persistent themes is the inevitability of aging, the wilting of the beauty of youth with which he is clearly intrigued.
Saudek is fascinated with youth, and many of his more controversial images include nude images of children and pubescent girls.
That Saudek's creative energy has survived decades of repression in both Communist and post-Communist Czechoslovakia, as well as the continuing disdain of most critics in the West, is a testimony to the power of his commitment to himself and his work.

The personal nature of his work was determined not only by the lasting impact which the photographic exhibition "The Family of Man" had on him, but also his experience, as a child, of narrowly escaping the appalling experiments of the concentration camp doctor Mengele.
Saudek has survived all the political changes in his native Czechoslovakia, and today is one of the best-known photographers of the nude.

At 70 years, Saudek, arguably the Czech Republic's most famous living photographer, still breaks women's hearts — "They try to pick me up all the time on the tram," he says — and has no shortage of female models begging to be photographed.

Saudek celebrates the human body in all its various shapes, but he characterizes the nudity in his work as a means rather than an end.

 Welcome to the Best of New Orleans! Art Review 08 10 04
As Czechoslovakia's best known photographer, Saudek reflects something of his country's tumultuous past, yet his images, taken at face value, are more like exercises in seduction, and occasionally revulsion, melded with mystery.
Not content to leave it at that, Saudek ends up revealing a lot more, so we learn that she is averse to wearing panties.
It helps to know that Saudek, who is now pushing 70, was once a young prisoner in a Nazi concentration camp for children, where he barely avoided becoming a victim of Dr. Josef Mengele's deadly experiments.

Internationally famous Czech photographer Jan Saudek is no exception, and equally as uncompromising in pursuit of his own unique vision.
For nearly four decades Saudek has created a parallel photographic universe, a two-dimensional home full of longing, peopled with the most extraordinary characters and coloured by desire.
Rejecting the supermodel look in his famous nude photographs, Saudek shows the distinctively different: Old women, fat women, children; real people in tableaux vivants that remind us of everything from surreal early movies to fin-de-siecle carnival nights.
