This original Miroslav Tichý motif depicts two women photographed from behind while shopping. Miroslav Tichý was a Czech photographer who documented thousands of women in his hometown Kyjov with self-made cameras made of cardboard and tin cans. The focus of his aesthetics was lying on imperfection. He thus distorted, spotted and poorly exposed his pictures, not only through the given possibility of his primitive equipment. Tichý followed the footsteps of artists such as Hans Bellmer or Pierre Molinier.
