Images Gone with Time

About DEVÍN BANKA

Money, success, financial power--spiritual values, culture, art.

How are these phenomena of the modern world related?

Banks have always been important patrons of art. Many works would not have come into existence without the support of a financially strong individual or organization, even though for them it is often more a question of prestige and image.

The philosophy behind DEVÍN BANKA's sponsorship is based on its sense of responsibility for the spiritual development of our society.

The book which you have here is a concrete example of how we put this philosophy into practice.

Why Images Gone with Time?

Anyone who has visited Slovakia at least once, who has looked around its countryside and, above all, spoken to the people who live here, could give you a dozen replies to this question.

What admirable impulse made Igor Grossmann, an outstanding photographer, take his camera and, with an eye guided by experience and wisdom, capture the life of unsophisticated people in our beautiful Slovakia?

The profound outlook on life of several generations is expressed through the simple motif of everyday existence.

People in this over-technical and hurried age appreciate the clear, simple depiction of love, the sense of belonging, peace and composure.

Browse through this book, which draws on the best sources of the Slovak phenomenon, and enjoy the very special atmosphere of the black and white photographs in it.

DEVIN BANKA wishes you many pleasant experiences.
