Product description
Before he became renowned for his coverage of the Soviet invasion of Prague, Josef Koudelka documented the surreal poetry of daily life in Eastern Europe. This high-contrast black and white composition juxtaposes the divine with the mundane.
About black and white photography
Black and white photography removes colour so shape, light and emotion lead. Vintage prints preserve the look of the film stocks, papers and printing methods of their time. The original dates from 1968. Grain, soft contrast and period detail give vintage photographs a character that modern images rarely have. Fine art photography is made to be displayed and contemplated, like a painting.
Styling this black and white photograph
Black-and-white tones give this black and white photograph a surreal character that holds a room. In a home office, hang “Josef Koudelka” above a desk: 20×30″ or 24×36″ for impact, 12×18″ for a smaller wall. The monochrome tones of “Josef Koudelka” sit happily with warm or cool interiors alike; try a slim black frame with a generous white mat. “Josef Koudelka” also anchors a gallery wall well; surround it with smaller black-and-white pieces at even 2–3 inch gaps.
