Podrobný výpis o publikaci

Petr Klimpl became known mainly as a portrait photographer. Along with capturing portraits, he cultivated the uniqueness of vision. In the 1980s, his photographs, spiced with the dynamics of fleeting moments, expressed the liberation of vision from the descriptive nature of critical realism. And he not only took pictures and made films, but he also wrote about these disciplines. The introductory text also describes the conditions of public activity before the change of the political situation in 1990. If the 1980s culminated in a historical turning point, the archival material of the time bears witness to the mood of the end of communist rule. That is why the book relies on pictures from the Czech lands and does not distract from the overall impression by looking elsewhere.
