František Drtikol: Les yeux grand ouverts

The original notes of František Drtikol written at the beginning of 1930 are intended for students of photography courses, which he organized in his studio. The publication is a technical and at the same time philosophical guide. It discusses how to approach the motif and model to create a quality portrait. The book can be considered as a Drtikol's photographic credo. It is accompanied by 50 photographs, which are examples of texts. These are Drtikol's lesser-known works from private collections and from the UPM collection in Prague. The commentary was written by Anna Fárová and Stanislav Doležal.
