Jan Saudek
INSPIRATION
(born in 13 May 1935, in Prague, Czechoslovakia)
is a Czech art photographer.
He was forced to work in a clandestine manner in a cellar, to avoid the attentions of the secret police, as his work turned to themes of personal erotic freedom, and used implicitly political symbols of corruption and innocence.
His best-known work is noted for its
hand-tinted portrayal of painterly dream worlds, often inhabited by nude or semi-nude figures surrounded by bare plaster walls or painted backdrops, frequently re-using identical elements (for instance, a clouded sky or a view of Prague's Charles Bridge). In this they echo the studio and tableaux works of mid nineteenth century erotic photographers, as well as the works of the painter Balthus, and the work of Bernard Faucon.Post the late 1970's his work got popularised.

AM LIKE A COCONUT-to damn hard to break and eventually if you find me,you shall see that I major in concocting madness and pleasure with unexpected sorts.. Just like WINE,my WORK & I HAPPEN 2 BE AN ACQUIRED TASTE.. ...As I am infamously christened as- "A PERFORMER": I don't like to take the drama home,I leave it behind for the ones who all watch 2 savour and remember...and to help me capture and carry the best from all the olds,the goods and the odds... This blog is a documentative quest that I embark on to learn and unlearn!!!
