Fotografii de Josef Koudelka
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 mai 2014
DECREAZIONE is a book collecting Joseph Koudelka's images exhibited at the fifty-firth Venice Biennale, at the Vatican Pavilion.
With his suggestive black-and-white images and his moving, desolated landscapes, Koudelka tells stories of destruction, declined in three different forms: time, violence, and contrast between nature and uncontrolled industrial development.
Josef Koudelka was born in Moravia in 1938. He published numerous photographic books on the relationship between man and landscape, about gypsy life, and on the invasion of Prague in 1968. Significant exhibitions of his works have been held at international museums and galleries and he received numerous major awards.

Notă biografică

Josef Koudelka was born in Moravia in 1938. He began his career as an aeronautical engineer, turning full-time to phtography in the late 1960s. In 1968, Koudelka photographed the Soviet-led invasion of Czechoslovakia, publishing these images under the initials P.P. (Prague Photographer). Soon after, he was anonymously awarded the Overseas Press Club's Robert Capa Gold Medal for the images. Forty years later an extended collection of these images, along with select primary source texts, was published as Invasion 68: Prague.

Koudelka published numerous books of photographs focusing on the relationship between contemporary man and the landscape, including Black Triangle (1994), Chaos (1999), and Lime (2012).
Significant exhibitions of his work have been held at the Museum of Modern Art and the International Center of Photography, New York; Hayward Gallery, London; Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam; and Palais de Tokyo, Paris.
