Viktor Kolár is the Czech Republic's most important urban photographer, and is especially famed for his photo-chronicles of his hometown of Ostrava. Kolár brings a politicized existentialism to the "decisive moment" principle, recording traces of civic alienation and anthropologically telling scenarios. Kolár is the only Czech photographer to have received the Mother Jones International Photography Award (1991).
