The photographer František Dvořák (1932 - 1986). Life and work.
HRUŠOVÁ, Helena
František Dvořák (1932-1986) became one of the leading photo-amateurs in the area of České Budějovice after the mid-1950s. Despite the high level of his work, his meaning and artistic footprint are forgotten over time. Above all, the unofficial part of his work is going over time to the background. Therefore, this bachelor thesis deals with mapping and reminding the life and the work of this South Bohemian artist, who has not received proper attention yet.

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.

Semrádová, Alžběta ; Konečný, Lubomír (advisor) ; Dobalová, Sylva (referee)
The thesis provides a general outline of the development of the still life paintings from antiquity to the end of the Baroque era in the European cultural context with an emphasis on the floral still lifes. The text is divided into four chapters. The first chapter is devoted to the still life paintings in ancient times, which later inspired painters of the younger ages, but also tries to point out to the different understanding of these specific thermes. Some quotations of ancient literature are attached. The second chapter introduces the medieval still lifes. In those times the Christian iconography has formed. The independent still lifes did not exist, however slowly began to appear within religious images like the bearers of the hidden symbolism. In the following chapter the Renaissance still life is introduced in the context of reducing the differences between art and nature observation in connnection with scientific knowledge. The last chapter deals with the Baroque still life painting, examines the development of individual still life paintings, mainly from the 17th and 18th centuries, and presents the differences between still life produced in different European art centres.

Still life
Svačinková, Alena ; Hůla, Zdenek (advisor) ; Uhl Skřivanová, Věra (referee)
The bachelor thesis deals with meaning of objects in our society. This thesis is divided into three parts - practical, didactic and pictorial part. The theoretical part examines an ordinary and necessary subject, subject as a bearer of meaning and a subject as a protective and ritual thing. I am simultaneously reffering to consumerism and sensitive understanding of the subject as a value in today's society. I compare the tools of the past with a mobile phone. The teoretical part is followed by the didactic part, which is composed of three artistic lectures I have given. Me and children discussed the following topics: Painted still life, Shop window and The box with my stuff. The pictorial part focuses on everyday objects. I have created the cycle of twelve still lifes. Each still life coresponds to one particular person, who is close to me, and symbolize their important things.

The Phenomenology of Touch and Desire
Vojtěšková, Jitka ; Hanzlová, Alžběta (referee) ; Mikyta, Svätopluk (advisor)
Still life arise from interactions related to a particular situation, location and experience. They are composed of objects that are located on a given place, of my own and borrowed or donated by my "partners". Reflect the time memory. They are a physical reminder of the experience. Still Life is manipulated, staged, composed of various artifacts that are symbolic bearer of facts that preceded them, Images may affect the perception of emotions associated with the concept of beauty, transience, decay, evoking a feeling of emptiness, to reflect the time - an irreversible momentum. Photos show a banal, everyday objects, often so obvious and neglected, What remains for us ... What remains ... What goes around ... What is gone ... Similar scenarios acquire different meanings, finding what is already absent,

The Magic Adventures of Whimsical Incarnation
Zapletal, Aleš ; Stratil, Václav (referee) ; Artamonov, Vasil (advisor)
I am presenting a series of medium and large sized paintings. Theese figural compositions are based on still lifes composed of common objects and pieces of food, which are animated by their transformation into portraits and figures. Theese fantastic characters are situated into humorously worrying confrontations and situations in which animated objects imitate human acting. They are limited by partly human structure of their bodies.

The Festival of Wiener Schnitzels
Helán, Martin ; Mainer, Martin (referee) ; Rathouský, Luděk (advisor)
In my thesis I dealt with still life paintings with food. The main keyword of this work is banality. It is the irrelevance of some situations that I used as a motive to create a visually impressive moments. I painted a meal as a celebration of the banal and seemingly unspiritual things, like a gift from God, which is a part of our ordinary everyday life.
