Avant-garde art in the collection of Boris Gribanov and its significance in the European and wider cultural context
Lukianov, Igor ; Alt, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Pětová, Marie (referee)
The aim of this research is to introduce the private art collection of the Russian (Soviet/American) collector Boris Gribanov and analyse the artworks of the Russian avant- garde represented in his collection. The history of the collection will be introduced along with the vicissitudes that the collector went through over the years in his quest to save the artworks. Within the broader historical and political context, this research paper discusses the fate of artworks made by Russian avant-garde artists and the difficulties encountered by collectors who tried to save the artworks of the Russian avant-garde from destruction and oblivion. Using the example of selected key painters from the collection of the collector Gribanov, the research will trace the historical and cultural context of collecting in the Soviet Union and the subsequent fate of paintings abroad. The thesis also deals with the situation of Gribanov's rescued artworks on the international art market and the popularization of the Russian avant-garde in the broader sense of the word. The research could also contribute to the analysis of the current art market and bring additional input for further studies in the field of modern culture, in connection with the collecting of works of art. The research method consists of the study of...

Landscape of Memories
Gorbušinová, Anna ; Gajdošíková, Pavla (advisor) ; Tsikoliya, Lenka (referee)
The bachelor thesis deals with the theme of home and landscape painting from the perspective of the perception of childhood memories. In the theoretical part, concepts such as identity, emotional relationship to place and genius loci are analysed with reference to the important theorists Christian Norberg-Schulz and Geston Bachelard. The theoretical part of the thesis also examines the development of landscape painting and elaborates on the period from the 19th to the 20th century, when artists began to explore the depiction of feelings and inner emotions. In this part of the thesis, the author's grasp of the theme of her childhood home and its influence on her contemporary work. The practical part forms the focus of the bachelor's thesis - it is devoted to a painting cycle of nostalgic landscapes of childhood memories. It represents her own search for an artistic language and the testing of artistic techniques. It mentions both foreign and Czech painters whose themes and artistic language served as inspiration. The result is a set of paintings Landscapes of Memories, reflection on its creation and artistic treatment. In the didactic part, the author describes landscape painting in the school environment and the development of the perception of landscape through different age categories. In the...

Feedback
Smolek, Adam ; Suchánek, Jiří (referee) ; Šrámek, Jan (advisor)
The topic of the thesis is feedback, understood literally as a technical principle in the creation of an audiovisual work, but also as a general principle of reflexivity. In this way, the dramaturgical, curatorial and production activities of the author are included in the framework of the diploma thesis, which are understood not only as autonomous creative outputs, but also as feedback systems. The result of the work is an author's tool operating with image and sound data derived from records of completed projects in the field of creating exhibitions, cultural and musical events. On the one hand, the work seeks to evaluate the realized projects by shifting to the meta-level of the work of art, its output is the creation of an audiovisual tool itself, but the conceptual level of using the feedback mechanism to reflect on oneself in interpersonal relationships is also essential.

Hilma af Klint and her position in abstract art in the half of 20th century
MOTLOVÁ, Petra
The aim of this bachelor's thesis was to explore and approach the work of the Swedish painter Hilma af Klint, who ranks among the pioneers of abstract art. Other representatives of abstract art include František Kupka, Wassily Kandinsky and Kazimir Malevich. In the introduction to the work, for the last three mentioned, their life, work and the artistic direction in which they created are briefly described. However, the work primarily focuses on the creation of an artistic description of the life and work of Hilma af Klint, the group The Five, as well as on the description and analysis of significant collections and works of the author. In order to complete the complex context of Hilma af Klint's work, the work describes the period in which the author worked. The significance of this period is described here, and the work also presents several artistic styles that influenced the work of the observed author. These are primarily styles belonging to the abstract art of the first half of the 20th century.

Abstraction in Automata Algorithms
Kocourek, Tomáš ; Lengál, Ondřej (referee) ; Holík, Lukáš (advisor)
Tato práce si klade za cíl implementaci a experimentální porovnání protiřetězcových algoritmů s abstrakcí a bez abstrakce, které testují prázdnost alternujících automatů. Autor také navrhuje vlastní algoritmy s abstrakcí a navrhuje několik optimalizací pro existující abstraktní algoritmy. Práce popisuje teoretické pozadí studovaných algoritmů a navrhuje efektivní způsob implementace datových struktur, které jsou těmito algoritmy používány. Experimentální vyhodnocení na náhodných automatech ukazuje, že algoritmy bez abstrakce vykazují obecně lepší výsledky, neboť nevyužívají náročné operace průniku a komplementace shora a zdola uzavřených množin. V případě automatů s vysokou hustotou přechodů však algoritmy bez abstrakce zpomalují a algoritmy s abstrakcí naopak zrychlují.

Trends in Contemporary Art
Janovská, Anna ; Ptáček, Jiří (referee) ; Stratil, Václav (advisor)
Diploma work consists of 4 oil paintings on canvas and 10 paintings on paper. Abstract character of these paintings defines their dreamy atmosphere, which was created in Intermedia department and captures autor’s approach towards painting. This diploma work has ambitions to belong to contemporary art scene, especially in the context of contemporary painting. Author reflects that art scene and is aware of its tendences and trends. There might be few questions; what are these trends? what is their meaning and how can they be reflected by curators and critics? Will these trends persist and will they become classified? Simultaneously author perceives the autonomy of Intermedia department and its liberty. Collection entitled „ARE“ was created with awareness of the fact, that everyone can see their beings in their own eyes. Author created them by her own eyes and by that she claims they „are“.

Generating Tree Structures for Testing of Information Systems
Rozsíval, Michal ; Hruška, Martin (referee) ; Smrčka, Aleš (advisor)
The work aims to create a tool for automated testing of information systems. It creates messages similar in structure to those in the communication of existing systems. The program reads provided communication record according to configuration and saves the individual messages in a uniform form. It splits the saved messages into groups and abstracts them into a suitable form for a subsequent generation of new random test messages based on a combinatorial testing with Pair-Wise coverage. The tool supports communication using the REST API and OPC UA protocols and structured data in XML and JSON . The program was tested by processing real communication records.

Coverability for Parallel Programs
Turoňová, Lenka ; Vojnar, Tomáš (referee) ; Holík, Lukáš (advisor)
This work is focusing on automatic verification of systems with parallel running processes. We discuss the existing methods and certain possibilities of optimizing them. Existing techniques are essentially based on finding an inductive invariant (for instance using a variant of counterexample-guided abstract refinement (CEGAR)). The effectiveness of these methods depends on the size of the invariant. In this thesis, we explored the possibility of improving the methods by focusing on finding invariants of minimal size. We implemented a tool that facilitates exploring the space of invariants of the system under scrutiny. Our experimental results show that many practical existing systems indeed have invariants that are much smaller than what can be found by the existing methods. The conjectures and the results of the work will serve as a basis of future research of an efficient method for finding small invariants of parallel systems.

Morphology of Armour
Bařák, Hynek ; Zálešák, Jan (referee) ; Kvíčala, Petr (advisor)
In my thesis, I was very inspired by middle age, whitch has huge influence on my work. It is a epoch of my interest, I am activelly interrested in it and it is with me throught all my live, practicaly since childhood. In painting there are mainly motives of knight´s armor, whitch is underlying cornerstone of my work. My interrest in armor is caused by it´s technical perfection, decorativeness and majesty in the late phase. In that time technicaly did not acted function of protection, but it acted represetativ function and we can see it like a art or statue. By technical site I really experiment with lots of different technics, in many cases I never stay on single one. I work with layers, underlay, with drawing as well as painting. With diferent washing or scribing I open lower layers, I react to it and then I repaint it, simply experimenting. It is almoust archeology back to the old layers of picture. Discovery, connection older layers with new ones. About the painters whose I am interrested in they are primarily Josef Bolf, Vladimír Kokolia, Jaroslav Róna, Giger, Wolfli, Jackson Pollock.

A Personal Dimension of Melancholy
Kubátová, Veronika ; Zapletal, Aleš (referee) ; Artamonov, Vasil (advisor)
Bachelor Thesis based on the topic Personal level of Melancholy. From the very beginning this topic was based on the fact that this work will touch me personally and will be based on the nature of my personality and build on my previous approaches to painting, that were formed during previous studies. My goal was to create abstract paintings, that matched their material meaning and are able to show them in the process of work.
