Saudek: Life, Love, Death & Other Such Trifles

The first monograph of Saudek's distinctive work, Life, Love, Death & Other Such Trifles is a fine representation of his bizarre, handcolored erotic nude portraits. Only relatively recently have his photographs been accepted in his native country--previously, they were vilified as offensive pornography. In spite of this, Saudek considers himself a true "Czech photographer"--a vital component in the proud tradition of Czech art, as this magnificent book aptly illustrates.
