Summary:

"Czech Photographic Avant-Garde 1918-1948 represents the first comprehensive publication devoted to avant-garde photography and photo-montage from the period that began with the founding of the independent Czechoslovak state and closed with the emerging totalitarian Communist regime. Although a number of top museums and galleries throughout the world boast examples of the work of Frantsek Drtikol, Jaromir Funke, Jaroslav Rossler, Josef Sudek, and other artists within their collections, the Czech photographic avant-garde as a whole, in its originality, scope, and quality, has yet to receive the attention it deserves in this area of specialized literature."--Jacket.
