Poet of Prague (US Edition) is a photobook by Czech photographer Josef Sudek. Born in Kolín, Bohemia, Sudek's father was a painter. After training as a bookbinder, he began studying photography on his own and became an indispensable artist in the Czech art scene before the war. He lost his right arm during World War I, and after returning to the country, he became famous for his advertising photos and photos of Prague's streetscapes and architecture, while carrying a tripod on one arm. From the middle to late stages of his career, he left behind many masterpieces of landscapes and still lifes inspired by nature in and around his own studio. In 1956, he published "Fotografie," which is considered one of the greatest masterpieces in the art photography world, and Sudek continues to receive great respect from fellow photographers as well as artists. This book is the British version of a photobook published by the American publisher Aperture. The book features Sudek's major works, including street, landscape, panorama, and still life photographs, and includes a number of beautiful black-and-white illustrations. US edition.
