Pictorial art in The return of the native by Thomas Hardy
Fantová, Jitka ; Beran, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Nováková, Soňa (referee)
The Return of the Native has proven to be a great example of the use of pictorial art in literature. Having been created in the middle of the second half of the 19th century, it became a mirror of the contemporary development of art. Not only does it use some principles from Academism, drawing heavily on the powerful impressions elicited by the sublime and the picturesque, but also it is inspired by Impressionism and a completely new point of view on the subject portrayed. Hardy is also influenced by the baroque play of light and shade, as well as by the symbolism of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. Reading the novel is like going through a gallery where the subjects of all paintings of different styles are related to one plot. Hardy has shown us several ways of incorporating a clear visual image carrying a meaning into a text. Firstly, it can be a direct reference to a picture or a painter, which helps Hardy to create a more detailed image of a scene in the reader's head, in case he or she knows the picture or the painter. Secondly, he uses methods of artistic styles in portrayal of characters and scenes to enhance particular qualities. Most striking is his obsession with lighting, which binds the structure of the novel together. It allows for a very original style of writing that leaves a long-lasting...

Giuseppe Verdi: Rigoletto - Comlex scenografical project
Lippertová, Dominika ; GLOGR, Karel (advisor) ; DUŠEK, Jan (referee)
This work is a theoretical part of the scenographic project of opera Rigoletto. I analyze here the whole process of creating and the comprehensive visual concept.
The first part of the work discusses the foreign productions of Rigoletto. It is focused on the stage design of relatively contemporary productions. It compares them with the staging from the 1970's that is more classical in terms of the stage design.
The analysis of the productions is a basis for further analysis of the possibilities of visual adaptation of opera Rigoletto.
The second part is based on the previous analysis. It describes the way to the visual conception of stage design and costumes to opera Rigoletto.Visual design is based on a minimalistically conceived stage and a relationship between music and the abstracted geometric shapes of costumes as the art objects and of the stage design itself.

"Self-portrait in the circles of smoke": self-fashioning of the modern artist as a smoker in the Czech art at the turn of the 19th and 20th century
Kolářová, Petra ; Konečný, Lubomír (advisor) ; Lahoda, Vojtěch (referee)
The topic of this Diploma Thesis is the representation of an artist as a smoker in the Czech Art at the turn of the 19th and 20th century. The motive is studied in the works of artists of the 1890s generation and the early avant-garde (Osma, Skupina výtvarných umělců), with the focus on the iconography of a smoker in art as well as the cultural history of smoking. Apart from paintings and graphics it uses other visual sources such as portrait photographs, caricatures published in contemporary newspapers and posters. The Thesis looks for a wider tradition in the European art and maps specific types of artist-smoker for whom cigarette, pipe or cigar is a part of his personal stylization. The first part concentrates on the early usage of the motive in the baroque painting and in the 19th century as such. The next part focuses on self-fashioning of modern artists characterized by their definition against social conventions. The attribute of smoking plays a role of a symbol of bohemian Iife, dandy astuteness, neurasthenic decadent, social or artistic revolt or emancipation of female-artists. The last part deals with the relationship of smoking to the actual art production of modern artists. Smoking is a metaphor for creativity of the symbolist poet or painter who draws the inspiration from his subjective...

Joe Sacco and Guy Delisle : views on comics journalism
Bárta, Jan ; Sládková, Hana (referee) ; Kruml, Milan (advisor)
Bachelor thesis "Joe Sacco and Guy Delisle: Two Views on Comics Journalism" deals with the possibility of existence of comics journalism, taking examples from work of two contemporary cartoonists, non-fiction comics authors Joe Sacco and Guy Delisle. To begin with, I'm trying to define comics phenomena and introduce its expressive devices and comics-specific techniques. Afterwards follows a short summary of history of comics, with a particular focus on history of American and Franco-Belgian comics. Then I would in short introduce the life and work of our two cartoonists together with a brief comparison of their visual style. The main part of the thesis is nevertheless the analysis and comparison of Joe Sacco's investigative reporting comic Footnotes in Gaza and Guy Delisle's comic travelogue Burma Chronicles. In the final part I'm due to answer the question of whether the comics journalism is possible and what could be its contribution.
