Author: Pavel Ba?ka; Alan Klotz
Title: Infinity: Photographs 1997-2000
Description: New York: Alan Klotz, 2001. 4to. 24 pp. Oblong. Soft cover. Very Good. Illustrated paper wraps. B&W plates throughout. In this work Pavel Ba?ka embraces not only the dusky sobriety of his Eastern European roots, but the poetic, lyrical darkness of all the best of Czech photography: Sudek's venison-rick almost black (but never quite) shadows; and Funke's artistically but ambiguously arranged, dimly illuminated planes. After defining and caressing all this darkness Ba?ka descamps with it as his blessed baggage to the American pacific northwest whose dour damp coast provides the perfect fertile ground for this artist to plant his poetic vision - to indulge his Czech Schattenfreud, creating an adagio movement of epic grace and proportion. .
