FRANTIŠEK VOBECKÝ (CZECH, 1902–1990) RECLINING WOMAN
1936. Signed in ink on recto. Titled and dated in pencil on verso. Gelatin silver print.
Image/sheet: 11 3/4 x 15 1/2 in. (30 x 39.4cm).
František Vobecký took up photography in order to document his paintings, but began experimenting with photomontages in the 1950s. These started as collages of everyday items but soon showed a Surrealist influence.
