Conceptualisation of Art: Negation of Form and the Problem of Nature of Conceptual Art.
ŘÍHOVÁ, Monika
The bachelor thesis deals with the problematic aspects of avant-garde, which were amplified and developed in the postwar movement known as neo-avant-garde in visual art, and especially with its conceptual tendencies which represent constant challenge for current aesthetics. Firstly the basis of aesthetic theory of art will be outlined in order to explain and show where the critique of aesthetics by conceptual artists is leading to. Then it introduces possibilities and limits of selected definition strategies, character of the relationship of conceptual art to other types of art and non-artistic activities, especially its approach to the philosophy and science. The key points of this thesis are: What is conceptualism? What transforms the neo-avant-garde pieces of works into art? Can we apply aesthetic categories at conceptualism? In which way does the conceptual piece work as a symbol?

The Poetry of Literary Group
BROUČKOVÁ, Veronika
The submitted thesis concentrates on poetry of the Czech art group "Literární skupina", which was established in 1921. This thesis is divided into several chapters, in which the author interprets the poetry of single authors on the basis of several flag features. There are terms and motives of death and life as two inseparable parts of human being, religiousness and religion and shifting of the original meanings, further conception of an individual in terms of community. Another chapter deals with the motive of heart and reflections of sensibility and emotive involvement in interest of creation of "the new world". The last chapter displays reflections of "Literární skupina" by temporal critics and discussions between this art group and Prague avantgarde group "Devětsil". The author is interpreting the poetry in the context with expressionism, which meaning she feels in the wide word sense, not just as an artistic movement, but as a "stream", which goes through all spheres of human activity. From this point of view the group "Literární skupina" can be also seen - as an art group which was not distanced from expressionism, but on contrary in the beginning joined it via its speaker František Götz. The autor of this study analyzes the theoretical thoughts of "Literární skupina" which obviously in strong contrast to practical artistic gesture in poetry can be found.
