David Hockney: The Way to New Media
Graca, Ivo ; Klimešová, Marie (advisor) ; Rakušanová, Marie (referee)
This bachelor thesis focuses on a British painter, draughtsman, photographer, graphic and stage designer, David Hockney, and his work. Unfortunately, this worldwide acknowledged artist has not yet attracted as much attention of the Czech art- historical environment as he would deserve. Therefore, the aim of this thesis is to briefly introduce Hockney's life and work, and to integrate it into the world art history context. A special consideration is taken into the genesis of the artist's output with respect to the work with modern technologies and new media.
Nationalism in architecture: Opava/Troppau 1900-1938
Graca, Ivo ; Procházka, Lubomír (advisor) ; Šalanda, Bohuslav (referee)
This Magister Thesis called "Nacionalism in Architecture: Opava / Troppau 1900-1938" is focusing on a specifically Central-European issue typical to a town situated in a cultural peripherie - merging of national tendencies originally formed as a sort of animosity between national majority and national minority, and vice versa. These tendencies are maped especially on the field of architecture. The wider cultural-historical situation of the era is characterized by the fall of Austro-Hungarian Empire, dawn of modern national states, and last but not least, the former German majority suddenly facing a completely new political ambiance. Therefore, the manifestations of architectural nationalism are closely linked to the defensive efforts of given nations. They all strive to preserve their traditional or newly fought positions. Thus, the major goal of the thesis is show how the political interests are demonstrated by the artistic means in the realm of architecture. Key words Nationalism Architecture Opava Silesia
