Occupy 1968: Dagmar Hochova

Occupy 1968
"Go Home!"

Czech photographer Dagmar Hochova died in Prague last week at the age of 86. In addition to her iconic documentation of resistance to the Soviet occupation of Czechoslovakia in 1968, she was probably best known for her black-and-white photographs of children and "the poetry of everyday life," in contrast to the orthodox Socialist Realism which prevailed in Czechoslovakia during most of her long career.
