Can we watch something happy?

“Man takes a drink. A drink takes the drink. And then the drink takes a man. Isn’t it so, Dad?” | “Medicine. Medicine is what it is. Bona fide cure-all. The mind is a blackboard, and this is the eraser.”

František Drtikol

Although he aspired to be a painter, Frantisek Drtikol became a photographer to heed his pragmatic father’s wishes. After graduating from the Teaching and Research Institute for Photography in Munich in 1903, he worked in various photography studios from Munich to Switzerland, producing two albums of landscape images in his spare time. In 1907 he established his own studio in his hometown of Pribram, earning a living making portraits. He briefly collaborated with Augustin Skarda on a 1911 album of oil prints titled “From the Yards and Courtyards of Old Prague,” but the partnership ended by 1921.

Drtikol continued to photograph, eventually specializing in photography of the nude. His images are believed to be among the first photographic nude studies ever made in Bohemia. In 1935 Dritkol abandoned photography to return to painting, his first love, which he believed could better express his burgeoning spirituality.
