Surrealism and Photography in Czechoslovakia - On the Needles of Days sheds much-needed light on the location of the single greatest concentration of Surrealist photography-the Czech Republic-and examines the culture and tradition of Surrealist photography that has taken root and flourished there. This volume explores a rich and important artistic output, very little of which has been seen outside of the Czech Republic.Based on intensive research at museums in Prague and Brno, Krzysztof Fijalkowski, Michael Richardson, and Ian Walker analyze Czech Surrealist photography from the beginnings of Czech Surrealism in 1934, to the intriguing expressions of the 1950s through the 1970s, to the unprecedented cohesion and rigor of the present-day Czech and Slovak Surrealist group. The main chapters of the book, ordered chronologically, are intersected with shorter texts which examine specific works. These images represent the continuing challenge that Czech Surrealism presents, and pinpoint the process whereby individual images can act as charged moments of interrogation and sometimes disruption.
