Czech 'new objective' photographers

[wayne naughton]

Google seems to have completely lost the plot on this one. I'm after information and links on this aspect of new objective photography. I know there was a group of very skilled Czech photographers that worked in the 1920's/30's and loosely attached themselves to the new objective movement (Sander, Blossfeldt etal). I had the links in the past but unfortunately i lost my notes when i changed computers and these days google is tossing up all sorts of irrelevant crap and right now, after a couple of sessions i'm confused. Help! Don't really want to go back to primary sources. Curse you google

maybe you would be interested in these photographers: Josef Drahomír Růžička, Jaromír Funke, Josef Sudek
(till 1945), Jaroslav Rössler, Karel Plicka, Josef Ehm, Tibor Honty, who all belong to "new objective" movement

If you would prefer solid books to web info, let me know. I can obtain you some stuff.

Very interested, Stanislav. Sudek is the only name i recognise. If you'd like to pm me, we can discuss further.

Many thanks,
