Product detailed description

​

Why Pictures Don’t Need Titles (2016) is an original and witty guide to Czech art told through engaging questions and short stories about remarkable artists and their fates.

What’s the secret behind Max Švabinský’s painting “The Poor Country”? Which artist lost an arm in the war yet became a world-renowned photographer? How did two Czech architects build two exceptional buildings within a single year? And how is it that Londoners know so much about life in the Moravian village of Bedřichovice?

Authors Ondřej Horák, Jiří Franta, and David Böhm combine curiosity, humour, and insight to present art history as a living story—accessible and inspiring for both children and adults.

Published by Labyrint, this richly illustrated book opens up new ways of understanding Czech visual culture and invites readers to explore art with fresh eyes.
