	Evžen Sobek
		Sobek managed, undoubtedly under the influence of Jindřich Štreit, to establish a relationship with his photographic subjects that was full of mutual trust and often captured them in highly intimate situations.
		The ever stronger generalising nátuře of Sobek' s photographs is also underlined in the fact that many pictures from the „Gypsies in Brno" series became part of the looser motif and theme collection, „Ecce Homo", in which the artist' s subjective view was even more evident.
		In this series, Sobek abandoned clearly defined themes from concrete settings and began to search out fantastic moments with metaphorical importance in seemingly commonplace reality, emphasised through sophisticated pictorial composition.
