More about this artwork

The remarkable artwork "Fotovýstava", created by Slovak artist Ľudovít Čordák in 1931, brilliantly captures the essence of technological advancement intertwined with cultural pride. This painting served as a promotional piece for a photo exhibition held in Košice, as indicated by the Slovak text on the artwork.At the heart of Čordák's design is a striking figure of a woman, elegantly elevated, and dramatically backlit by radiant beams emanating from the camera she holds aloft. The camera is not merely a device here, but a symbol of enlightenment and progress, highlighting the transformative power of photography as an art form and a means of documentation.The backdrop features silhouettes of architectural landmarks, likely representing Košice, which nestle within the lower framework of the painting, grounding the ethereal figure in the tangible world of cultural heritage and geographical identity."Fotovýstava" stands as a testament to the dynamism of the early 20th century, embracing both the new frontiers opened by technological advances and the enduring importance of cultural heritage.
