Also know for his similar Masterpiece Book titled Banik Ostrava, Viktor Kolár is one the Czechoslovakian's most influential Photographers of the Cold War Period, amongst peers such as Josef Sudek or Koudelka. This Book Titled Mala Strana (Prague) is his peer book, and is his other very influential and ultimately scarce Book (Banik Ostrava, first printing, same publishing, being the other one). Whereas in the 1960s Kolář was drawn to the originality of the faces that had resisted being wiped blank by the pressures of the surrounding world, during the more than twenty years of the Soviet occupation of Czechoslovakia he focused on the destructive homogenization of the faces of its people. In the most recent period of great change in the country, which began in November 1989, he has been searching for the signs of the new freedom that, among other things, has been arduous and unnerving for many people, who are now often helplessly groping their way through a life very different from what they once knew.
