Rudolf Sandalo Jr., the proprietor of Atelier de Sandalo, established himself as a prominent figure in architectural photography, particularly renowned for capturing Czechoslovakian functionalist architecture of the 1920s and 1930s. His studio, initially focused on portrait photography, gained international acclaim under his leadership, producing iconic images of buildings like the Villa Tugendhat by Mies van der Rohe. Sandalo's meticulous compositions skillfully highlighted the structural and aesthetic qualities of modernist designs, shaping the perception of architecture both locally and abroad. – Some creases and minor surface irregularities, some traces of previous mounting, otherwise in good condition.
