Reknowned Czech photographer Jan Lukas was born one hundred years ago (August 15, 1915, Ceske Budejovice - August 28, 2006, New York). He was a legend, one of the principle founders of the tradition of Czech photojournalism and humanitarian photography. His documentary images reflect the 20th Century - and the people that formed it - on such a broad scale and to such depth that is hard to trace in the work of any other Czech photo-grapher. The exhibition „People 1930 - 1995“ presents the era during which our modern history was formed, not only in Europe, but also in the former Soviet Union and the United States. These black and white images maintain their significance to this day, when difficult times insist that we do not forget, lest we repeat our past mistakes....
