Jan Saudek

Jan Saudek is an art photographer and painter. Saudek's art work represents a unique technique combining photography and painting. In his country of origin, Czechoslovakia, Saudek was considered a disturbed artist and oppressed by authorities. His art gained more prominence during the 1990s, thanks to his collaboration with the luxury art book publisher Taschen. During the 2000s Saudek lost all his photo negatives in a dispute with a former partner.
