A Spectacle in Circus - Distraction, Concentration?
Machalíková, Pavla
The text takes as its starting point the thesis of Jonathan Crary about the fragmentation of modern society and modern perception. As an example, it takes circus posters and announcements for the Bich circus society in Prague shortly after 1800. It analyses circus as a specific type of modern spectacle which manipulates the perception of the viewer in ways similar to manipulations in modern art.

Jan Quirin Jahn and the dictionary of the history of art? (Beginning of the history of the art in Bohemia)
Marešová, Jana ; Prahl, Roman (advisor) ; Machalíková, Pavla (referee) ; Mádl, Martin (referee)
Práce je věnována osobnosti malíře a osvícenského erudity v jedné osobě, Janu Jakubovi Quirinu Jahnovi (1739-1802) a jeho nedokončenému projektu dějin umění založeném na životopisech umělců. Protože součástí práce je také komentovaná edice, je rozdělena na dvě části - teoretickou studii a komentovanou edici. Teoretická část sumarizuje vývoj biografií umělců od antiky až do konce 18. století v Evropě. Další kapitoly jsou pak zaměřeny na osobnost Jana Jakuba Quirina Jahna a jeho rukopis o dějinách umění. Tento rukopis se skládá ze tří částí - úvodní historické studie, výběru životopisů umělců, kteří do Jahnovy současnosti působili v Čechách a z ukázky medailonů, které Jahn shromažďoval excerpcí ze zahraniční literatury, doplňoval archivním výzkumem a nakonec je řadil do složek podle panování.

Annual Gifts of the Art Union in Prague during the 2nd half of the 19th Century
Donné, Tereza ; Prahl, Roman (advisor) ; Machalíková, Pavla (referee)
In the beginning my thesis deals with the Kunstvereins, artistic associations which achieved significant development in the first half of the 19th century. It also concerns with the history of Krasoumna jednota (Fine Arts Union) - the first Czech society founded purely for spreading art among general public by means of releasing annual gifts and organizing yearly exhibitions. The work also treats shortly Spolecnost vlasteneckych pratel umeni (Society of Patriotic Friends of the Arts) which initiated the activity of Krasoumna jednota. The text itself analyzes development of graphic techniques used in the annual graphic gifts. It clarifies the significance of the gifts released by the art societies, deals with the selected gifts of the Krasoumna jednota and their inspiration with emphasis on engravers of German origin. In the end the work briefly compares three Czech societies for spreading of art which coexisted at the same time, and their gifts; Krasoumna jednota, Jednota umelcu vytvornych and Umelecka beseda.

Figure portrayal in Czech painting of the second third of the 19 century in European context
Řezáč, Jan ; Prahl, Roman (advisor) ; Machalíková, Pavla (referee) ; Musil, Roman (referee)
In my Ph.D. Thesis I suggest methodological approach to the figural painting of the middle of the 19 century, creation of the Czech painter Josef Manes in particular. In this period figural artists still learned to copy historic models in both academic and non-academic institutions. But the figure starts to be also presented as identifying element of the society, newly establishing nations in particular. Also emancipation of artists and their effort for conceptual expression (self-representation) is reflected in the presented figural form. Painting of the European late romanticism is characterised by adoptions of Michelangelo's and manieristic way of portrayal of human body. Thus there is a remarkable shift from so far popular classical Raffaelo's renaissance figure. For Josef Manes, usually only graphic patterns were available. In this thesis I also analyse Manes's anthropomorfisations and his tendencies to deform anatomic proportions of depicted figures. I show that these features of Manes's art have social, mental and formal background. I aimed to find interpretations of Manes's artistic approach, probably influenced by ideas from Munich, Düsseldorf and Vienna. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)
