The lifelong theme of the photographer Josef Sudek was glass in all its imaginable forms – as windows of cathedrals and of his own studio, as objects in his publicity photographs and in countless still-life images. In 1963–1972, Sudek produced, in his own flat on Úvoz Street in Prague’s Hradčany district, the series Glass Labyrinths that was a paramount synthesis of many different influences, whether of Emil Filla’s Cubism, the experiments of his friend Jaromír Funke, Dutch Baroque still-life paintings, or the age of Emperor Rudolf II.
