Sadlo review

David Jobling has written a small review in InDaily - The Online Service of The Independent Weekly:

” … Alexander Sadlo: Experimental Journey - An Artist in Three Countries… the plates of his work in this career spanning book are superb and illustrate just how fabulous his gift and execution of work is. Clearly the book is written with love, but without gratuitous laurels heaped upon the artist. Indeed the work speaks for itself in terms of evoking a superlative reaction. Keeping the time in mind and the style of the day anyone can see Sadlo was breaking new ground.”
