Abstract
ABSTRACT Josef Svoboda is often presented as a master in the field of lighting design, but we know little about the exact nature of his contribution in this area. This article aims to foreground his input in terms of lighting sources, the light curtain, contrast, shadows, directions of light and mastery of stray light. It contains several excerpts and drawings from an unpublished interview on lighting design conducted in 1993.
