Josef's father was a house painter and he apprenticed his son to a bookbinder; a fellow worker introduced the young man to photography.

Sudek's devotion to work may have integrated his shattered life but it could not have offered him the spiritual redemption he was seeking; only his aesthetic quest could bring this.

 Josef Sudek - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
He was born in the industrial town of Kolin, Bohemia, at a time when a Czech nation was just a romantic dream.
His Army disability pension gave him some leeway to make art, and he worked during the 1920s in the romantic Pictorialist style, but always pushed at the boundaries of that form - he was expelled from a local camera club for arguing about the need to move forwards from 'painterly' photography.
During and after the Second World War Sudek created haunting night-scapes and panoramas of Prague, photographed the wooded landscape of Bohemia, and the window-glass that led to his garden (the famous The Window of My Atelier series).

 Stephen Cohen Gallery / Josef Sudek
The fascination with light and mood was however to permeate his lifetime's work, with brilliant shafts of sunlight penetrating the dusty gloom of St Vitus Cathedral (his use of light in these interiors reminiscent of the great master of the platinum print, Frederick Evans).
His use of a soft-focus lens to produce diffused highlights and a mood of romanticism, Sudek was soon to renounce such 'artistic' effects, becoming a part of the 'new wave' of modern photography in Europe.
In a career that spanned nearly seven decades, Joseph Sudek, one of the masters of the twentieth-century photography, created his own solitary world of shadow and light, of theme and variation.

 Josef Sudek (55 (Series).) - PowerBookSearch!
Little-known in the West, Czech photographer Josef Sudek (1896-1976), who lost an arm in WW I, endured from 1938 onwards the hardships of Nazi and Soviet occupations, but persisted in his art, producing an intensely personal and emotional body of work.
In a preface, Kirschner, photography curator of the Museum of Decorative Arts in Prague, recalls how Sudek created from limited settings a "Magic Garden" of photographs--and, in contrast to most of his work, at times embraced surrealism: his often startling use of a glass eye as a prop was a favored device.
Time was when few knew the poetic fl-and-white landscapes and still lifes of this Czech master, but since Bullaty's Sudek (1978) and Josef Sudek: Poet of Prague (1990), his images have become reasonably familiar.

Occasionally (mostly between 1947 and 1954), Sudek made pigment prints of favorite images, a painstaking process that allows the transfer of photographic images to high-quality textured art paper.
The images are painterly, with subtle tonal gradations, and include dewy views from the studio window, luminous images of parks and cemeteries, brooding portraits, and quirky and inspired still life arrangements.
Preceded by six informative essays, including an interview with friend, curator, and advocate F rov, the compilation demonstrates why Sudek was so aptly called "the poet of Prague." Recommended for large art collections in public and academic libraries.
