Frantisek Drtikol: Modernist Nudes (1997) is a book on the photography of Frantisek Drtikol with text by Vladimir Birgus.
From the Robert Koch Gallery, the publisher:
- This beautifully reproduced catalogue in tri-tone is the first to focus primarily on Czech photographer Frantisek Drtikol's modernist nudes. Chronicling his work during the 1920s and early 30s, the catalog surveys Drtikol's turning toward a more modernist aesthetic, with an emphasis on geometric objects and dynamic movement. In the spirit of Cubism and experimentalism, the female body was no longer a mere vessel for the soul, but became a complex aesthetic and erotic object.
