Miroslav Tichý (* November 20 1926 in Nětčice)
is a Czech photographer and painter.
Miroslav Tichý wandered the small Moravian town of Kyjov in rags, pursuing his obsession with the female form by photographing women in the streets, shops and parks with cameras he made from tin cans, children's spectacle lenses and other junk he found on the street.
He would return home each day to make prints on equally primitive equipment, making only one print from the negatives he selected.
His work remained largely unknown until 2005, when he was 79 years old.
some of his work:
He's like the Bukowski of photography.
