In Igor Grossmann's Images Gone with Time, starkly beautiful photographs capture the essence of the Slovak village at the moment of encounter between the old and the new, when centuries of tradition beheld the dawn of a new age. The world of the mountain village comes alive in these photographs: the countryside formed by traditional ways of farming, buildings blended into the scenery, and family life in the village in its ordinariness and its bright, festive moments.

These images are revealing, and this vanished world is part of the human record, even if the images are gone with time.

Grossmann's photographs are the land of our memories of home. They are a record of our existence, a guarantee of our survival.

Stop awhile, traveler!
All nations passed this spring
and paused to wash their faces,
refresh their sight and touch,
seeking in and beyond themselves
the secret elixir of life and the stars.

                     Jozef Cíger Hronský
