Jan Lauschmann

Czech Republic (1901—1991)

A professor of photographic chemistry and the technology of sensitive materials in Brno, Jan Lauschmann played an important role in the development of the photographic industry in Czechoslovakia and across Europe. His work combined scientific research with extensive experimentation on photographic processes and materials, and he applied this technical knowledge to his own practice, producing photographs that reveal both methodological precision and artistic sensitivity.
