The 1920s were an era of stylistic upheaval, characterized by elegance, luxury and a fascination with Art Deco. Today’s spotlight is dedicated to a master of this era: the Czech photographer František Drtikol.
With his iconic nudes, Drtikol succeeded in transforming femininity into a new artistic form – sensual, geometric and imbued with an unmistakable theatricality. His works combine the classic ideals of Art Nouveau with the dynamism of modernism, creating images that are as timeless as they are provocative.
