Marie Šechtlova, nee Kokešova (1928–2008) began her photographic career in 1945. After her marriage to Josef Šechtl, she helped develop the family Šechtl & Voseček photographic studio until 1953, when it was nationalized by the communist government. In the late 1950s, she became an art photographer, and in the 1960s, she was one of most successful photographers of "the poetry of the everyday". Together with her husband, she published a number of books, and produced many exhibitions, and also pioneered the use of large scale photographic prints for interior decoration.
You are cordially invited to our exhibition at Šechtl & Voseček Museum of Photography:
Opening day: 27 July 2010 at 5pm.
Open Monday-Friday 10am–5pm.
Exhibition will run until 31 October 2010.
These photographs from the Šechtl & Voseček studio present the lost face of Tabor town. They introduce you to times when only a narrow gate led to the town; to market squares where you could buy cabbages or cattle; to where Lužnice river raftsmen called the tanners "Blue Bellies"; and to where construction and demolition went hand in hand. The exhibition is a selection from the book-in-preparation, "Disappeared Tábor" (one of the "Disappeared Towns"series from Paseka publishing), and from the 2011 calendar of Šechtl & Voseček Museum of Photography.
We gratefully acknowledge financial support from the South Bohemia Region.Section, where we show the most interesting information we have received from you, about photographs in the archive.
