Erotic Art--Jan Saudek

Jan is one of the most controversial photographers for his subject and his medium (hand painting his photos). I rarely wish I could pretend to be someone for a day but I think it would be pretty cool to be Jan.

Thanks Marxist

I don't know the man and this is the first time I've seen his work. Exactly the type of art I like. Stops you in your tracks and makes you study it instead of glancing over.

I'll look out for him from now on...

:)
 
Excellent thanks...

I feel like most people do when they come across something which they never knew about but which fits their appreciation to a "T".

Very excited. Without meanong to you've started me on a mission to find out more about this man and his work.

I won't say thanks again, it gets a bit boring but...

well thanks!

:)
 
Where's he from?

The paintings remind me of eastern orthodox icons.

(BTW, that's one twisted cat you got there.)

He's Czek so that probably explains it.
 
translation

My hubby is from the Ukraine. He says that the words in the eastern orthodox painting say: "Holy Rus' "

"Rus' " Is the old word for Russia, which originally started as Kievskaya Rus'. Hubby says that Rus' is not what we call Russia today, but really part of Ukraine, Russia, Poland and Belarussia.

So, based on what you know of the artist, does this make sense?
 
Very nice Marxist, I really like the fifth one you posted. If you come across any more of his work please post it.

Thanks.

I would have to think that this again is Saudek's personal vision of childhood gone awry especially under the yoke of Russian (Soviet) imperialism. Saudek is about 66 so he saw WW2 first hand and has very vivid imagery regarding dead Germans and other nice stuff.
