The 120th-birthday anniversary of Josef Sudek (1896–1976), one of the most important figures in the history of Czech photography, provides an opportunity to discuss a less-known but substantial part of his oeuvre: Sudek’s photographs of works of art, which ranged from drawing, painting and sculpture to architecture and applied arts.
Furthermore, this symposium affords an occasion for international academics and curators to examine questions of photographic reproductions of art in general, explore problems of intersections of photography and art, theoretical or aesthetical aspects of interpretation, as well as investigate methodological strategies analyzing the role of photographic reproduction of art in shaping the discipline of Art History.
