Biography:
Jan Svoboda is a Czech photographer born in Hrušky, Czech Republic in 1934. He is known for his work in photography and is considered a leading representative of late Czech surrealism. Svoboda's work often features an unmistakable and unique style, characterized by a compulsively unorthodox combination of externally disparate elements. His work often looks like a record of reality, fulfilling its subversive mission through intersubjective communication with the viewer through evoked associations. Svoboda continues to create art to this day.
