770: Koudelka



Here's a nice pair of Koudelka books. The first gives a broad range of Koudelka's work, including his early work in the theater, to the Prague 1968 events, as well as photos from his books Gypsies, Exiles and Chaos. A small book, published by Torst, the reproduction quality is nonetheless above average, especially for an inexpensive book. The size is perfect for reading on the plane or train. A good introduction to the work of the famous Czech-born photographer.







Josef Koudelka's latest book, shot entirely in panoramic format. The book is definitely for larger coffee tables. The reproduction is excellent, with beautiful deep rich tones. Judging from the prices of Koudelka's past books, buy this while you can. Photo courtesy of digital journalist.
