“Only the greatest of photographers, such as Koudelka, can reconcile such diametrically opposed elements as documentary and aesthetic truth into one seamless image so that it is at once highly significant and utterly compelling. Chaos destined to be a classic, succeeds in doing so time and again.”—Art Newspaper

“Book of complex, and very often beautiful, images… A wonderful monograph… Koudelka confirms his standing at the top of any hierarchy of twentieth-century image-makers with this book.”—British Journal of Photography

“Chaos confirms Josef Koudelka as one of the world’s greatest living photographers. This is not just a landmark photographic book but a landmark book per se.”—Scotland on Sunday
