The theoretical background of Anglo-American land art and its transformation in Czech context
 Lomová, Johana ; Klimešová, Marie (advisor) ; Pospiszyl, Tomáš (referee)
The M.A. thesis describes an artistic approach called Land Art and its development in the end of the Sixties and the beginning of the Seventies in both the USA and the ČSSR. Methodologically the thesis follows a premise that Land Art was shaped by its time (e.g. its social and political contexts). The thesis first introduces texts that were written by the American artists and are regarded as an important element in artistic efforts to create a new form of art. The Czech understanding and appropriation of land art follows. Since early Czech representatives of the land art did not produce similar texts themselves, the case of land art in Czechoslovakia is studied using contemporary writings by art historians and critics close to the artists. The difference in the understanding of land art in both countries may be summarized as critical on the side of American artists, and cosmological on the side of the artists in Czechoslovakia. However on a more general level, the meaning of land art as primarily a statement against the establishment and will for freedom, were present in both social and political contexts.
