Piatto per torta
c. 1936
Most people know Joseph Sudek as the 'Poet of Prague' for his moody black-and-white photos, but this sketch reveals his playful side in design. Created around 1936, this proposal for a pie dish features a delicate gold rim and faint blue vignettes that look like little dreamscapes or pastoral scenes. It’s a rare glimpse into his work with applied arts and modernism, showing how he brought a sensitive, artistic eye to everyday tableware before focusing entirely on photography.
