So sexy is the Czech Photography
Bonn - Lascivious looks, a lot of bare breasts and bare skin - these erotic photos you can admire since Friday in the Federal Art Gallery.
The theme of the new exhibition: "Czech Photography of the 20th century" - and that was (and is) pretty sexy.
From behind the Iron Curtain because everything was dull and uptight, "The Nude in Czech Republic has a long tradition," explains the project manager responsible for issuing Angelica Francke (47).
"In the socialist regime Nackbilder were banned, but they were still made in secret. For the photographer it was a form of rebellion against the regime. "
The Federal Art Gallery, however, shows not only the erotic images: "They range from 1900 to the millennium, from the avant-garde art of the 20s to the modern documentary photography," says Francke. "The Czech Republic is indeed a small country, but there was always a lot of very good photographer."
The exhibition runs until 26th July, Tue / Wed 10-21 Clock, Thu-Sun 10-19 Clock.
