"La république Tchèque a longtemps été un pays de mystère et de magie, berceau des alchimistes, artistes et bohémiens. Internationalement reconnu le photographe Jan Saudek ne fait pas exception à la règle. Durant près de 40 ans, il a créé un univers visuel propre au caractère fort et illuminé par l'amour. La force intemporelle de ses photographies peintes à la main réside dans une composition poétique, un langage pictural dominé par la mythologie baroque et influencé par le Moyen-Age. Rejetant les canons habituels des photographies de nu, il préfère le différent: la vieillesse, l'obésité... Un voyage à mi-chemin entre la photographie et la peinture, l'onirisme et la réalité."AZART, ParisFrance |

"TASCHEN has unleashed another extraordinary coffee table tome. . .Jan Saudek by Daniela Mrazkova is surely the heaviest book of the year, as well as the oddest. For those unfamiliar with Czech photographer Jan Saudek, his hand-tinted photographs are a world apart. One thinks of Fellini carnival side show, a surrealist dream Breton might have had. Strange and savagely beautiful. Naked narratives staged before painted backdrops or peeling walls that appear to move. . . Bosch-like cameos, bondage scenes, a Victorian-futurist damsel with gun to mouth, a fat lady and a weight lifter mimic poses. Saudek has fused a thousand influences with his own peculiar vision and arrived at a planet all his own. Like a magic carpet, Saudek transports the viewer to startling destinations."Dingbat.com, New YorkUnited States |

"Um universo mitológico, fantástico, barroco e zúrrela prepasa em todas as obras aquí reproducidas. Sao cuadros vivos, cheios de sensualidade, que elevam o corpo a um obecto de arte."Evasôes, LisabonPortugal |

"Jan Saudek est avec Frantisek Drtikol la figure la plus célèbre de la photographie tchèque. Le grand public connaît surtout ses images pornographiques et baroques qui circulent sous forme de calendriers ou de cartes postales. La volumineuse monographie que lui consacre Daniela Mràzkova a le mérite de présenter trente ans de travail et un univers singulier où la provocation et l`obscénité des dernières séries se lisent au miroir du lyrisme et de l`humanisme des premières images. Saudek construit inlassablement une autobiographie en images, rêvée, théâtralisée, depuis l`espace clos d`une cave de Prague qui tient lieu de matrice à son œuvre. Au centre de sa cosmogonie, la femme reste icône majeure – princesse, reine, vierge, et plus que tout mère, d`où procède l`origine du monde, et peut-être de la photographie."Beaux-Arts Magazine, BoulogneFrance |

"Es una de las más completas muestras de su su siempre fascinante objetivo. (…) Imágenes tan hipnóticas para los que miramos como para aquellos que posaron…"Vogue, MadridSpain |

"Jan Saudek is an internationally renowned Czech photographer and this massive tome is a fantastic collection of his work. To be honest, not everyone will appreciate his uniquely coloured, sometimes disturbing imagery, but it's this challenging aspect of his work that makes it compelling viewing. If you like this sort of work, the price asked for this book is very good value."Photography Monthly, LondonUnited States |

"If you honestly believe there's nothing original left to do or say, you need to take a close look at TASCHEN's latest tome. Having ploughed his own unique furrow for the best part of 40 years, Czech photographer Jan Saudek is now something of an underground legend. Much of his work defies concise definition. But suffice to say, it`s not for the faint-hearted. He's got a thing for large women, old women and naked women. There's nothing traditional or clichéd about Saudek's work - this is 100% original, timeless photography that you wont forget in a hurry!"Practical Photography, LondonUnited Kingdom |

"Saudek tells his own fascinating tale of life via his camera and this book becomes a celebration of a strange joy, and a profound understanding of humour."Erotic Review, LondonUnited Kingdom |
