Great Waterfall, High Tatras

Karel Plicka was an artist of many trades, considered a founder of the Slovak film education and filmmaking. His documentary photography was often of ethnographic nature, but he preferred stylisation (sometimes using figures to show scope) and precise composition instead of absolute verity. Plicka's archive contains thousands of photographs and shows the seven decades of changes in folklore, work habits, architecture and natural environment.
