Plate
1935-1942
Before he became famous for his moody photographs of Prague, Joseph Sudek dabbled in decorative design, as seen in this delicate sketch for a porcelain plate. The oval dish features a thin, golden-yellow rim framing a serene blue landscape, with tiny trees and water reflections sketched at the top and bottom edges. A small side-profile view at the bottom shows the plate's shallow curve, signed simply 'Jo Sudek.' It's a charming glimpse into the artistic versatility of a man usually known for capturing shadows and light in black and white.
