A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

The history of Slovak photography is full of forgotten figures. However, until recently, only a few were as little known as Ján Galanda.
Like most modern Slovak photographers, Ján Galanda was an amateur; in his civil life he worked as a bank clerk. He didn t begin to work systematically with photography until the first half of the 1930s, and, like the majority of amateur photographers, he mainly documented his leisure interests, such as travel, hiking and sports. But unlike others amateurs, Galanda created his photographs with precision and they feature a demanding and at times refined sense of composition. Although his subjects reflected modern lifestyles, his photographs remained timeless, splendid, unbiased and 'captivated by beauty'. He depicted simple life events and natural human interests with visual fervour, and gave them new meaning. His shots represent a picture of better times that never existed in Slovakia, depicting a kind of Slovak glamour style in their own unique way.
At the same time he also created a body of work on his many foreign trips, that portrayed a lifestyle seldom seen in his impoverished homeland.
