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.

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 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,

Shapelessness
Conde, Tamara ; Kohoutková, Karolína (referee) ; Jamrichová, Kristína (advisor)
The main body of my diploma work is composed of several paintings of large formats. These paintings depict the fusion, invasion, and profound alteration of two bodies being mixed into one. The paintings contain chunks of interwoven bodies of fleshy caucasian tones, that of my own body and that of oyster mushrooms. These formats are not placed in rigid confines. Along with the large paintings, there are two small formats on wood that resemble morphed organs between the two main models. These two small formats on wood play a fixed role in contrast to the loose canvases. These illustrative works of art play hide and seek with an explanatory audio for whoever roams too long in the installation. The documentation of the thesis text focuses on the partial historical reevaluation of humanity's notions of hybridity in a scientific and cultural sense. The text is structured to define the etymological logic of the keywords used to characterize the project, the philosophical implications these words convey, and to follow the links that tie my project to scientific concepts that are creatively misused in contemporary artistic practice even among other artists. To sum up, the text is structured in such a way as to define the reason why shapelessness is the best word to describe the ambitions of my artwork.

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.

Pourová, Kristina ; Zlatohlávek, Martin (advisor) ; Jarošová, Markéta (referee)
My diploma thesis concerns itself with the depiction of the still life, in particular the type known as "vanitas", symbolizing the transience of human life. I focus on several artists working in Italy, France and Netherlands during the 17th century - Salvator Rosa, Simon Renard de Saint Andre, Jan Davidsz de Heem, and Nicolaes van Verendael - and explore their influence on the Czech artists Johann Adalbert Angermeyer, Jan Kaspar Hirschely, and Vaclav Vavrinec Reiner, who dealt with the same topic.

Home as Place of Rituals / Do not disturb! / Home Zone
Kubátová, Veronika ; Baráčková, Daniela (referee) ; Artamonov, Vasil (advisor)
I have been dealing with the themes of prefabricated houses and housing estates until recently. I was especially interested in their aesthetics. Order, grid and certain regularity and repeatability. At the same time, I was always interested in his social connotations, mainly because I live in these places. Gradually I became more interested in topics related to my own home. So I moved from the general themes to my own experience. But what is my home? Home is a place of utmost importance in our society. Home is made up of people, family. People have it associated with many rituals that accompany their lives often without actually being considered for them. Thanks to these rituals, we manage, among other things, the everyday influx of positive and negative influences of the surroundings and deal with them in various ways. Morning coffee, brushing your teeth, lighting a candle, wiping dust, filling a bath, scattering water on flowers, etc. Balance is the key to everything we do. And I would like to analyze, document and process these home and personal rituals in this work. The final thesis will consist of a free series of paintings with possible interventions and overlaps into video or installation, etc.

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.

Painter and collector Miloš Malina and his bequest to Středočeské muzeum in Roztoky
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.
