Jan Reich (1942 - 2009) A GROUP OF 9 PHOTOGRAPHS OF PRAGUE

A set of 9 black and white photographs with Prague motifs by Czech photographer Jan Reich. Each photograph is signed in pencil on the front and back, including the date and title. Jan Reich was a Czech fine art photographer, representative of landscape and urban photography. He is regarded as one of the classics of Czech photography, primarily due to his use of traditional analogue processes and his adherence to a purely artisanal approach to processing photographs. He photographed on large-format old photo equipment. In 2000, Reich co-founded the group Český dřevák, an association of photographers who shared a love of wooden cameras. Together with this group, he exhibited and shared his artwork. His photographs are part of the collections of the Moravian Gallery in Brno and the Museum of Decorative Arts in Prague.
