Painter and collector Miloš Malina and his bequest to Středočeské muzeum in Roztoky
Hůlková, Martina ; Pech, Milan (advisor) ; Czumalo, Vladimír (referee)
The Bachelor's thesis introduces a less-known artist and collector Miloš Malina, who is exceptional for combining both his passions in his artistic creations. The work deals mainly with the reference stored in the Central Bohemian Museum, where is his entire heritage, which Malina has left to the Museum still during his lifetime. The thesis is divided into three parts, which present the artist himself and his estate. At the end of the thesis I focus on Malina's work. The first part presents his life, studies and employment. It is also concerned with his ambiguous artistic style, which was influenced by some friends artists as Filla (Malina was inspired by his Cubist paintings), Špála (the same preoccupation with the blue colour), even foreign artists as Cézanne (use of apples in his still-lifes). Women, who surrounded him his whole life, were a great inspiration. I focused on the why he selected some of them and what about them was interesting for him. In the second part I will show how the whole legacy got into the Central Bohemian Museum. I will also mention how the legacy was thematically divided and stored in different individual depositories. In conclusion I not only focused on his work. I also aimed to the way his work reflects his fervour for collecting.

Abstract:
The student will work on a monograph of the hotel Thermal in Carlsbad, especially emphasising the development of its perception and evaluation in a broader social context and its related issues of heritage preservation. She will clarify the circumstances which lead to the decision to build a big festival and conference hotel with an outside swimming pool right in the historical environment of the city. Not only she will set the hotel in the context of the work of architects Věra and Vladimír Machonin, but she will also evaluate the hotel as an architectural unit and compare it to the style of architecture in the second half of the 20th century. Aside from the usual art-historical methods, she will also use the oral history method by utilising testimonies of direct participants in the planning and the construction of the hotel, especially of the architect Věra Machoninová. Furthermore she will reconstruct the development of the appreciation of the hotel by professionals and the public since it's completion until today. Parallel to that, she will focus on how the hotel was used in late socialism and during the rapidly changing property and economical conditions...

Janská, Lenka ; Špirk, Ivan (advisor) ; Daniel, Ladislav (referee) ; Pech, Milan (referee)
The dissertation work deals with the organization of artistic life in the context of totalitarian regimes and its reflection in the Czech lands with the attention to fine arts education. It defines two types of artistic education - academic and modernistic. Significant interest is modern art infiltration into a cultural field in connection with social changes of interwar Russia and Italy. Historical research, Pierre Bourdieu's analytical approaches, analysis of Czechoslovak cultural, fine art and fine art pedagogically oriented magazines printed between 1919 - 1939 are the methods used for searching information. In terms of possibilities in Russia the biggest independence appeared in graphic design as means of modern visualization. However, the artists reached the position in the artistic field and following token power by taking social posts, especially teaching jobs, and often at the expense of their own espression. Italian authors voluntarily adapted their modernist creation to political development. Forms of their styles were much wider. The avantgarde quite smoothly managed to integrate into official culture.

Canon of Czech modern art
Ficková, Barbora ; Pech, Milan (advisor) ; Winter, Tomáš (referee)
The thesis deals with the formation of the canon of Czech modern art during the 20th century based on the analysis of art groups Osma, Skupina výtvarných umělců and Tvrdošíjní and their time. Every artist becomes an object of interest of art historian right after he creates an artwork. The art historians are trying to classify him and put him into the story of art history. The concrete interpretation of the artist and his artwork depends on different circumstances and always reflects the period, when it has been created. It is affected by social and political situation, preferred art historian approach, possibility of artworks reproduction, used terminology and stereotypes. Osma, Skupina výtvarných umělců and Tvrdošíjní has been chosen because their activity is connected with the origins of Czech modern art and the activity of their members is often reflected in the art historian literature. The chase of social-political situation during the 20th century allows naming also other topics that have influence on the form of the Czech modern art. The thesis analyses important exhibitions held between the years 1935-1998 and the survey literature written in the same time. Based on the analysis it introduces the concrete changes in the canon of Czech modern art. Keywords Canon of modern art, Cubism,...
