Miroslav Tichý
Tichý attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague dedicating himself to modernist painting until 1948 when the communist regime imposed the representation of workers in overalls rather than posing models. Tichý refused and left the academy. After military service he began painting again according to his style, to the point that the communist regime considered him a dissident and confined him for a few days in the state psychiatric clinic. In the sixties Tichý began to neglect his physical appearance so much as to be considered by all an eccentric. He wandered around the city of Kyjov with a self-built and deliberately imperfect camera (blurry shot, dirty lens and scratched...) to steal images of women, drawn by the essence of femininity.
