Monografie o Janu Saudkovi od Daniely Mrázkové se spoustou fotografií a několika jeho texty.

This volume presents a retrospective of the work of Czech photographer Saudek, who combines eroticism and aesthetics in a distinct style using elaborately painted backdrops and interior walls, magical costumes, and props. The essay by John Wood (poet and photographic historian) and James Wood (curator of photography, Kinsey Institute) discusses the artist's ideas and work. The book contains 128 color reproductions that include some of Saudek's earliest photographs as well as his iconic pictures. 9.75x12.25. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Stalo se už tradicí, že každou divadelní sezonu v Národním divadle fotografuje v posledních letech některý z renomovaných fotografů; postupně tak vzniká řada zcela ojedinělých a výjimečných fotografických souborů. Nejnovější divadelní sezonu, 2006 / 07 po celý rok fotografoval Jan Saudek; jeho osobitý, výsostně soustředěný a zaujatý pohled na naši první scénu je zachycen v poutavé obrazové publikaci, doplněné texty v češtině, angličtině a francouzštině. Tedy: Pavel Liška, Václav Postránecký, Richard Krajčo, Miroslav Donutil, Taťjana Medvecká, David Matásek, David Prachař, Iva Janžurová, Klára Jelínková, Zuzana Šimáková, Pavla Hrubešová, Adéla Pollertová, Tereza Podařilová, Jan Kodet,... očima Jana Saudka.

Surreal photographs of still lifes, nudes, pregnant women, children, and families make use of double exposure, hand tinting, and unusual juxtapositions

Internationally famous photographer Jan Saudek is, without question, the most provocative figure in the history of Czech photography and he has become the best-known living Czech photographer. The publication is by far the most comprehensive monograph charting the work and life of this celebrated photographer to date. This exceptional book shows his pictures touching on the most delicate and controversal aspects of human existence, but they are in their totality a celebration of mankind. Rejecting the traditional beauty in his famous nude photographs, Saudek shows the distinctively old women, fat women, children; real people. It is a unique insight into over 4 decades of life and work of this wordwide known artist.
