Printmaking

Jaromír Funke was a Czech photographer and theorist who pioneered modernist approaches to the medium in the early twentieth century. Working primarily in black and white, he developed a distinctive aesthetic centered on geometric abstraction, close-up compositions, and the formal properties of light and shadow. His experimental work bridged photography and the avant-garde movements of his era, establishing him as a foundational figure in European modernist photography.
