) The king of elegant soulfulness was the relatively well-known Josef Sudek a colleague of Funke. (Both were born in 1896. ) This side of his sensibility is represented here by an exquisite image of a sprig of flowers in a glass of water on a windowsill but he imbues even a playful pile-up of modernistic doll furniture — shot for an advertisement — with an elegiac mood. The influence of Surrealism to which the Czechs responded with alacrity is evident. Jan Lukas worked Dalíesque wonders with three snail shells and their elongated shadows and he veers close to abstraction when photographing the underside of a modern staircase. But sometimes what seems Surreal is quite mundane. Zykmund oversaw unscripted actions that presage Happenings and performance art; at the Guggenheim is an image of his face wrapped in string that resulted from one such event.

" Mathyssen who sits several rows behind Moore in the Commons later described the image she saw as "soft porn Playboy type stuff" a full-screen view of a woman dressed in "very flimsy lingerie. " She said no one else saw the image. When Moore noticed her whispering about it to a colleague Mathyssen said he closed the window and she saw what appeared to be 16 to 20 similar pictures in the file. Moore flatly denied spending his time in Parliament viewing risqué photos. "I don’t have the faintest idea what my colleague is talking about" he told the Commons. "I’ve taken great efforts throughout all of my political career to treat all of my colleagues with the deepest of respect" he said.
