On the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the FotoFest biennial, Czech Center Museum Houston presented a large cross-section of Jan Reich’s work.

Jan Reich, one of the last classic proponents of Czech photography, relentlessly photographed the history and architecture of his childhood Prague, hauntingly picturesque Bohemian landscape, and finally historical and religious landmarks of his nave Czech Republic. Drawing on the rich history of early 20th century Czech photography, Reich was inspired to document the obvious and hidden beauty of his surroundings.

Remarks were given by Igor Malijevsky and Tom Van de Ven.
