View, Photography and New Technological Eras
Stecker, Marcel ; PETŘÍČEK, Miroslav (advisor) ; ŠIMLOVÁ, Štěpánka (referee)
American painter Ed Ruscha has been using medium of photography since his studies at Chouinard ART Institute in Los Angeles. In 1963 he published author's book Twentysix Gasoline Stations which depicts gasoline stations on the road between Los Angeles and Oklahoma. My diploma thesis describes Ruscha´s book and the time and circumstances under which it was being made. I am putting Ruscha´s book in the context of cold war and atmosphere of this period. I am writing about american individualism and expansion of automobility and its strategies. I focused deeply on Ruscha´s early artist period and his studies in Los Angeles. I am describing the historical context of Ruscha´s way from Oklahoma to Los Angeles. I emphasize its influence on american society. I inquire Ruscha's point of view to art, art history and his resistance to mainstream that was coming from New York to California. The book Twentysix Gasoline Stations was published three years after Ruscha's graduation, so it is considered as an early masterpiece. I am writing about fusion of art and roadside imagery and its historical context of 30's and 40's. I emphasize their difference and their similarity. The field of my study was extended by Paul Virilio´s essay Aesthetics of Disappearance where Virilio draws relationship between automobilism and cinematography. Through his essay I am coming back to Ed Ruscha and thanks to it I am finding new relationships in Ruscha's work. I enhance the atmosphere of this period by mentioning roadmovies and its link to american individualism and explosion of automobilism. I contrast this context with situation in Europe, its identity and geopolitical influences. At the end of my thesis I emphasize Ruscha's work and his contribution to questions about aesthetic and non-aesthetic and his reflexion of automobilism expansion and a book form as a new way to present art.

Jak se mohou navzájem ovlivnit dvě naprosto odlišná média, jako jsou fotografie a psaní? Tato práce si klade za cíl odpovědět na tuto otázku. Hlavní myšlenkou této práce je určit vztah mezi poezií a fotografií. Pár vybraných fotografií poslouží jako příklady a budou podrobeny rozboru. Práce je rozdělena do pěti kapitol, přičemž první část tvoří Úvod, druhá kapitola podává základní shrnutí obou médií. Třetí kapitola se zabývá rozborem prací japonského fotografa Masaa Yamamota. Čtvrtá kapitola rozebírá několik vybraných příkladů fotografií, které jsou nahlíženy metaforicky. Poslední, pátá kapitola přináší výsledek zkoumání této práce a shrnutí, jak se navzájem ovlivňují poezie a fotografie v dějinách a v tvorbě.
