Notes

Český fotograf, významný představitel secesního piktorialismu. Věnoval se širokému spektru uměleckých technik, ovládal ušlechtilý tisk a experimentoval také s novými technikami, s gumotiskem, platinotiskem nebo olejotiskem. Byl průkopníkem v mnoha oblastech fotografické tvorby, fotil jak inscenované ateliérové fotografie, tak v plenéru za nejrůznějších povětrnostních podmínek. Ačkoliv zemřel na leukémii ve věku pouhých dvaceti osmi let, významně ovlivnil českou fotografii začátku 20. století. Byl i teoretikem, o fotografii pořádal přednášky a publikoval své články v dobových časopisech. Vystudoval chemii na Vysokém učení technickém v Praze a fotografickou praxi získal v továrně bratří Lumiérů v Lyonu a v ateliérech Langhans v Praze a Kosel ve Vídni. V roce 1911 si v Praze otevřel svůj vlastní ateliér, který záhy získal velkou popularitu. Po umělcově smrti převzala vedení podniku jeho manželka, a ten tak fungoval až do roku 1928. Na přelomu let 2010 a 2011 umělci uspořádala monografickou výstavu Moravská galerie v Brně.
Vladimír Jindřich Bufka was a Czech photographer and an important proponent of the Czech art-noveau pictorialism. Bufka was familiar with various photography techniques of the time including gum bichromate, platinum print or oil print. He was also a pioneer of many photographic techniques, his creative works span a wide range; he practised staged photography in studio settings as well as outside in different weather conditions. Although he died of leukaemia at the age of 28, his influence on Czech photography of the early 20th century was significant. He gave lectures and seminars on photography, contributed to various specialized magazines and published a number of books. He studied chemistry at the Czech Technical University in Prague and later gained the real life experience with photography in the company of the Lumière brothers in Lyon, in the Langhans atelier in Prague and Kosel atelier in Vienna. He opened his own studio in 1911 in Prague and achieved a great popularity very soon. After his death, his studio was managed by his wife Marie Bufková until 1928. In 2010 and 2011 his works were exhibited in the Moravian Gallery in Brno.
