Abstract
The photo album of the region surrounding the town of Beroun featuring images by Jiří Jeníček, dating back to 1973, reflects the atmosphere and circumstances of the Czech photography scene under the influence of World War II. During the interwar and post-war period, the amateur photographer, filmmaker and theoretician Jiří Jeníček was one of the key personalities of Czech photography and film. His influence extended to both amateur clubs and the modernist avant-garde tendencies in interwar photography, which fundamentally influenced Czech photography. Jeníček’s photo album with motifs of the town of Beroun and the surrounding landscape emphasises strong emotional content through neutral themes. The paper examines the role of Czech photography during the Second World War within the socio-cultural context in response to the challenging circumstances and how it was interpreted after 1945.
