Documents, memories and images from the life of an important Czech illustrator and the author of the legendary series of the guides to world cities This is... A biography from the pen of Olga Černá that captures Šašek not only his childhood years but also as the artist who slowly climbed the ladder of fame. Pavel Ryška's essay treats Šašek as an author, setting his work in the context of international visual art. Richly illustrated – from book samples through independent work and on to photographs from private archives. All of this is M. Šašek.
