About the Item

A contemporary gelatin silver print by renowned Czech photographer Jan Saudek, "Untitled (#43)", exemplifies his distinctive fusion of photography and hand-painted colorization. Hand signed lower left. Dated September 3, 1889 (100 years earlier of creation date) and titled along the margins. The composition depicts a nude female figure overlooking an urban industrial landscape, rendered in Saudek's hallmark blend of realism, fantasy, and sensuality. The hand-applied pigments imbue the image with a painterly warmth, transforming the stark photographic base into a deeply emotional tableau. This print reflects Saudek's enduring exploration of human vulnerability, eroticism, and the passage of time. From a private collection. Dimensions: 22.5"h x 25"w x 1"d (framed). In very good condition. Jan Saudek (b. 1935) is an internationally acclaimed Czech photographer celebrated for his pioneering work in hand-colored photography and his provocative exploration of love, mortality, and the human condition. A leading figure in postwar European art, Saudek gained global recognition after his inclusion in "10 Photographers" at the International Center of Photography, New York (1973) and through major retrospectives at institutions such as the Musee National d'Art Moderne (Centre Pompidou, Paris) and the Museum of Modern Art (New York). His work is represented in numerous permanent collections, including the Getty Museum, George Eastman Museum, and Art Institute of Chicago. Saudek has received multiple honors, including the Czech Medal of Merit (2006), solidifying his legacy as one of the most influential and controversial photographers of the 20th century.
