At some point in the 1920s, the photographer Josef Sudek met the Cubist painter Emil Filla (1889 –1953), and became Filla’s go-to photographer. Filla commissioned Sudek to make reproductions of works by various artists for Volné směry magazine, he asked him to document his own paintings, drawings, and sculptures for his personal archive, and he simultaneously introduced him into various aspects of the history of art. The text therefore focuses on selected fields of Filla’s interest and the ways in which these might have found resonance in Sudek’s own work. The themes which I regard as parallel in both Filla’s concept of the history of art and within Sudek’s oeuvre include still life painting, 17th century Dutch painting, Caravaggio, Josef Navrátil and Cubism.
