Popis

This monograph on one of the most famous Czech photographers, Dagmar Hochová (1926–2012), reaches readers forty years after the author’s first small monograph was published in the Art Photography series by Odeon Publishing House, and twelve years after this important documentarian and representative of Czech humanistic photography left us. The book traces the life and work of Dagmar Hochová through the prism of the narratives of her contemporaries, period documents, the author’s archive of negatives, and publications about her work that appeared after the fall of communism. The picture it paints goes far beyond the label of „photographer of children“ by which Hochová is known. On the contrary, it shows that during her forty-year professional career, the author also successfully ventured into areas with which we do not yet associate her name.
