        MIROSLAV TICHÝ 1926 - 2011 - A GIRL

        Est: -

        Miroslav Tichý's paintings appear on the market rather sporadically, he is best known for his slightly controversial photographs of women in public places, often without their consent. His paintings have gone unnoticed for a long time, because Tichý did not systematically paint and many works were not preserved. He was appreciated especially for his originality and humor, the paintings are expressively colorful, the figure is laid out, the lines are denied and the woman in all its forms has become the central motif for Miroslav Tichý. Technique: Oil on paper on plywood, Signed: Lower left "M. Tichý"

        Est: -

        BEZ NÁZVU 70. - 80. léta 20. stol. Černobílá bromostříbrná fotografie, původní autorská zvětšenina. 101x86 mm. Stav A. Stav odpovídá autorskému přístupu. Moravský amatérský fotograf a malíř. Narodil se v Kyjově, kde také od roku 1930 s malými přestávkami žil. V letech 1945-1948 studoval na AVU u J. Želibského. Malovat přestal v 2. pol. 50. let. V 60. letech definitivně rezignoval na aktuální společenské a kulturní dění, soustředil se na kresbu. Jeho stěžejním tématem byla žena, provedení se postupně zjednodušovalo a převážilo soustředění na detail. V 70. a 80. letech postupně přestával i kreslit. Fotografií se zabýval od konce 60. let. Fotoaparáty i zvětšovací přístroje si konstruoval sám. Objektem jeho snímků byly opět takřka výhradně ženy, jež zachycoval v kyjovských ulicích či na koupališti. Fotografoval také oblíbená místa v Kyjově a domácí zátiší. Fotografii se věnoval až do začátku 90. let, kdy s tvorbou definitivně přestal. UNTITLED 1970`s - 1980`s Vintage gelatin silver print. 101x86 mm. Condition corresponds to the artist`s approach. OHNE TITEL 1970s - 1980s Silbergelatineabzug, vintage. 101x86 mm.

        Est: $400 - $600

        MIROSLAV TICHÝ (czech, 1926–2011) UNTITLED Ca. 1950-1980. "32" in pencil on verso. With certificate of authenticity issued by Prague Auctions. Gelatin silver print. Image/sheet: approximately 7 x 4 1/2 in. (17.8 x 10.8cm). Miroslav Tichý built his own cameras using materials such as bottle caps, cigar boxes, toilet paper rolls, tin cans, and clothing elastic. This gave his photographs their signature flaws, which he compounded by deliberately making mistakes while printing them. He made only one print from each negative. Tichý almost exclusively took photos of unsuspecting women; his methods were considered subversive in his native Czechloslovakia and he was arrested more than once at the local pool for taking photos without permission.

Miroslav Tichý (1926-2011) Miroslav Tichý studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague, where he was considered a talented painter and draftsman already at an early stage. After abandoning his studies, he began to experiment with photography. From the 1950s to the 1990s, Tichý roamed the streets of his hometown Kyjov day by day with his makeshift cameras and photographed the local women. Often, the artist created over 100 images in one day, which today form his vast radical and unorthodox oeuvre. In 2004 the reclusive artist gained international recognition after the legendary curator Harald Szeemann showed his work at the Biennale in Seville. Thereafter his works were exhibited in Zurich, Paris, New York and Moscow. Today works by Tichý are held at the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the Victoria & Albert Museum in London and the Museum of Modern Art in Frankfurt.

Miroslav Tichý studied at the Art Academy in Prague but left after three years without a degree. Later he was at odds with the Communist cultural authorities. In this period he spent time between prison and psychiatric hospitals. In the 1960s, after his studio was destroyed by the police, he began taking photographs with a self-made camera. His voyeuristic images of women show his obsession with the female form. He lived in chaotic circumstances and never submitted to the rules of the Communist regime. In the 1980s the German magazine Der Stern published an article about his life and photography. Today his work is internationally known, collected and exhibited. – Usual traces of use.
