	JOSEF KOUDELKA
		Josef Koudelka was born in Moravia, a Czechoslovakian state, in 1938.

		Josef Koudelka uses the medium of photography in such a way as to make us shudder and be awe-stricken by the repellent content of his pictures, - even if we cannot fully comprehend their meaning.

	A look at the Josef Koudelka retrospective - 10-01-2003 - Radio Prague
		Josef Koudelka - Photographer is a retrospective that has been conceived on a grand scale with an absolute sense for detail and perfection.
		In her writings from the 1960s Mrs Farova points out that even Koudelka left photographing the theatre for other themes, he began to look for the theatrical in the world., something which is certainly embodied by the series 'Gypsies', shot between 1962 and 1970.
		But, Anna Farova suggests it is essential we recognise that Josef Koudelka "does not photograph reality as it is, but as he imagines it and feels it." This might be surprising for some viewers since, at first glance, some of the photos from 'Gypsies' seem almost like documentary reportage.

	GYPSIES - Photographs by Josef Koudelka
		These photographs were taken mainly in the separated Gypsy settlements in East Slovakia during the period 1962-1968.
		Koudelka achieves restraint and clarity and a respect for human beings, his work reflecting a long evolution of his vision from the external to the inherent and ultimate nature of his subjects.
		Please note that this book is being sold at well under the normal asking price because the first few pages are out of alignment with the rest of the book due to a printing error.

	Book Reviews by Nubar Alexanian
		With absolute certainty, Koudelka hits a dazzling low note with this work (in his case, think of an acoustic bass or cello, drawn with a long bow) and holds it with complete confidence right through the resolution of the note itself, which in this case is the entire length of the book.
		This said, Chaos is a virtuoso performance by Koudelka, not simply because it shows us the full extent of his command and understanding of the medium of photography.
		But by exhibiting his unique ability to venture far from the melody (documentary photography) without losing sight of it, he continues to define what a documentary photograph can be: a reflection so full that it is at once deeply human, richly poetic, and modestly spiritual in the broadest sense.

	Amazon.com: Josef Koudelka: Books: Josef Koudelka,Anna Farova,Karel Hvizdala (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Koudelka is famous for how stubborn he is about showing new images, and this book isn't an exception as it is a review of the photographer's most-known bodies of work: Gypsies, Invasion 1968, Exiles, Chaos.
		Let assured however, the most if not all of Koudelka's iconic images are present, and the quality of the reproduction is very high (for example, some of the photos from Exiles have much better definition and contrast than their reproduction in my copy of the revised edition published by Delpire in '97).
		Considering the high prices of other books by Koudelka, this book is a bargain, and if you're new to this photographer's work, it's a great place to start.

		Included as well are an essay by Czech art historian Anna Farova, who has followed Koudelka throughout his career, and an expansive interview with the artist conducted by Karel Hvizdala over a period of 10 years.

		An alien landing on earth for the first time wouldn’t have any difficulty deciphering Josef Koudelka’s epic panoramic photographs.
		His visual language is simple, direct and generally uncluttered with cultural signs and symbols.
		With the weight of this photographic history bearing down on us, Koudelka’s iconoclastic works may be the antithesis of touristic depictions, but they are a welcome and necessary addition to an evolving and healthy picturing of a small county on the edge of Europe.

	Josef Koudelka, Prague, 1968 (kottke.org)
		It was taken by Josef Koudelka in Prague in 1968, just before the Soviet Union invaded and put a stop to The Prague Spring.
		To demonstrate the emptiness of the streets at noon, Koudelka stuck his wristwatch into the scene before shooting it.
		A simple, brilliant gesture that adds not only a temporal dimension to the photo but also a sense of solitary humanity in contrast to the empty streets.

	Josef Koudelka: Kendice (1995.362) \| Object Page \| Timeline of Art History \| The Metropolitan Museum of Art (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		An insightful photographer known for his gruff honesty, Koudelka's central subject during the early years of his career in the 1960s and '70s was the plight of the Gypsies in Western Europe.
		This photograph is a remarkable visualization of the power of music—one of the Gypsies' greatest assets—to connect human beings; but it is an equally dynamic demonstration of Koudelka's prowess in harnessing photography to document the invisible and make permanent the ephemeral.
