Description
This selection from the photographic archive of Czech photography legend Václav Chochola focuses on Jan Werich. Almost 150 unique photographs capture important and interesting moments from Werich’s life, his post-war collaboration with Jiří Voskovec, the awarding of the title National Artist, and the related legendary series of photographs with Jiří Trnka, along with many previously unpublished images from his private life. The book is complemented by accompanying texts contributed not only by Václav Chochola but also by Werich’s colleagues and friends shown in the photographs, including Jiřina Bohdalová, Stella Zázvorková, Miroslav Horníček, Jiří Menzel, Vladimír Preclík, Ladislav Smoljak, Zdeněk Svěrák and Josef Vinklář. The contents are in Czech.
