Unique work
This graceful portrait of a girl in an interior silhouetted against the background of a cloudy sky is accompanied by a precious correspondence that Jan Saudek held with critic Giuliana Scimè. It is a real treasure not only for the speeches about photography manuscripted by the author in his own language, but also for the flair with which the envelopes are accompanied by the graphic interventions and collages with which he even composed the address of his correspondent. Next to the letters are postcards and even a pencil text written on the back of a small sheet of photographic paper blackened by exposure to light.
