    Pavel Nešleha. Stopy síly. Fotografie z let 1971-2002
    • Přítomná kniha Petra Wittlicha, nazvaná Stopy síly, poskytuje pronikavý vhled do fotografické tvorby malíře Pavla Nešlehy (1937 – 2003) a citlivě obnažuje její myšlenkovou podstatu. Vede nás napříč umělcovými cykly z let 1971–2002, jejichž motivickým těžištěm se pod vlivem umělcova romantického založení stávaly procesy přírodních dějů, krajinné scenérie, přírodní struktury a tvářnost mizejících památek prostoupených kulturní tradicí a osudy člověka. Dle příběhu autorovy studie jsou voleny takové záběry, jež podněcovaly umělcovu tvůrčí imaginaci a probouzely vzpomínky na cosi dávného a podstatného, co přispívalo k prohloubení duchovní báze jeho díla a napomáhalo artikulovat hledání i nalézání.

    • The English version of the major book from Petr Wittlich, which charts the crisis and development of Czech monumental sculpture at the turn of the 19th/20th century and explores the new decorative style associated with the movement known as Secession or Art Nouveau. The author presents and defines the individual and common features of the work of F. Bílek, S. Suchard, L. Šaloun, Q. Kocian, J. Maratka, B. Kafka and J. Štursa. The author focuses on their creative, as well as individual contributions, and he also appreciates their common tendency towards being human, i.e. humans placed within the universal myth of his origins and mission. The book is abundantly illustrated and is designed for the general reader as well as the specialist.

      The book delves into the vibrant Czech art scene of the late 19th century, highlighting Prague's role as a cultural hub alongside Berlin and Vienna. It examines the Czech Secessionist movement through three main stylistic schools: naturalistic-impressionistic, symbolist, and ornamental-decorative. These styles, while distinct, interact to enrich the understanding of the era's art, challenging conventional views of Art Nouveau. With over three hundred color plates, it celebrates the innovative spirit and artistic achievements of this often-overlooked period in Czech history.
