SITENSKÝ 100

8. 5. - 23. 6. 2019

The New Town Hall Tower Gallery commemorates Ladislav Sitenský’s 100^th birthday with an exhibition of his 100 photographs.

Ladislav Sitenský, a remarkable Czech photographer, was born on August 7th, 1919, in Prague 2, district of Kralovské Vinohrady, where he spent most of his life.

Although he is most famous for his war photos of the Czechoslovak Squadrons in the RAF, his coverage was much wider. As he used to say himself, he would take photos of about everything he had seen, thus becoming a bit of a documentarist and chronicler of the 20^th century. However, you should not expect any austere documents, as his photos are always poetic. Taking photos was a way of expressing his joy of life and his photos were the means of capturing the poetry of the moment.

The city district of Prague 2 celebrates the 100^th anniversary of the birth of its famous native by holding a retrospective exhibition of his most important photographs.
