The Intimate World of Josef Sudek by Ann Thomas, Vladimir Birgus & Ian Jeffrey Canadian Literature David spent weeks cutting large

David spent weeks cutting large slabs of stone out of a boulder for their fireplace

and it was only after his death that his reputation soared

But how did a poor orphan become a global icon of both luxury and everyday style

In Ottawa however he managed to sell six watercolours to the National Gallery of Canada and his work was chosen for showing at the British Empire Exhibition at Wembley (1924-25)
