Martin Martincek: Time in the Sun / Cas Slnka Tapa dura - 2002

Información de la editorial

What the abstract-expressionist artist of the twentieth century created with paints on canvas, Martin Martincek accomplished in photographic images. Time in the Sun treats us to new abstract realities generated by the interplay between water and the sun and captured by his camera to give to these fleeting and unique epiphanies permanent existence and to us joy forever.

Since Martincek is 88 years old, this may be his last cycle: photographic abstractions. In his long career as an artist-photographer, we see him go through many cycles from totally realistic to totally abstract as can be documented in a dozen or so books in which his photographs have been published in the past 50 years. In previous decades of his life, he devoted his photography to ethnography, focusing on the country and people of Central Europe.
