Applied graphic work of the painter Jiří Balcar
Špinková, Tereza ; Lahoda, Vojtěch (referee) ; Klimešová, Marie (advisor)
The Bachelor thesis Applied graphic work of the painter Jiří Balcar aims to discover and summarize Balcar's applied work throughout his life. The thesis is divided into two main parts: the first deals with the layout of books and periodicals, the second one looks at the design of film posters. The chapter on designing the book outlines the problem of illustration. The main focus of this study was to find a connection between Balcar's paintings and applied art. The same way as in Balcar's graphics and paintings, he goes through applied arts from expressionist depiction of a man in the city over lettristic Decrees to abstraction. After 1965 he returns again to figuration and to a man, surrounded by artifacts, referring to the modern contemporary world. However, in addition to this broad similarity, making posters and some graphic design publications shows another dimension of his work that does not appear in the paintings and graphics. This thesis is primarily a monograph; the Czech environment and the global context had to be completely removed due to the limited scope of this work.

Regarding conceptual art in Bohemia and Moravia during the 1970s till the early 1980s
Brabcová Kršiaková, Lenka ; Klimešová, Marie (referee) ; Wittlich, Petr (advisor)
The final thesis titled Regarding Conceptual Art in Bohemia and Moravia during the 1970s till the Early 1980s deals with the theoretical background and characteristic features of conceptual art in worldwide context as well as in Bohemia and Moravia. It covers the period of late the 1960s till the early 1980s. In order to describe the main features of conceptual art, the author used as examples the works of chosen American and European artists (for e.g. the selected work of Sol LeWitt, Joseph Kosuth, Art and Language, Lawrence Weiner, Bruce Nauman, John Baldessari, Bernd Becher and Hilla Becher, Victor Burgin, Hans Haacke, Dan Graham, Daniel Buren, Marcel Broodthaers.) Furthermore, the text describes the beginning of conceptual art in Bohemia and Moravia and it deals with the work of local artists (Milan Knížák, Jiří Valoch, Marián Palla, Karel Miler, Petr Štembera, Jan Mlčoch, Jiří Kovanda.) A whole chapter is dedicated to the work of the very creative and versatile artist - Dalibor Chatrný. Several features of conceptual art are described in greater detail on chosen examples of the way he works with photography, words and colour, with mirrors and mirror reflection, space and planes. Finally, the thesis considers the specific nature of Czech conceptual art and it also reflects on criticism of conceptual art...

Zorka Ságlová
Bučilová, Lenka ; Klimešová, Marie (advisor) ; Juříková, Magdalena (referee)
Zorka Ságlová was born in Humpolec on 14 August 1942. Between 1961 and 1966 she studied at the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague in the textile studio of Antonín Kybal. From informel paintings she moved to structures created out of basic geometrical elements based on a particular textile structure - sateen weave. In 1968 she exhibited her works at the New Sensitivity, an exhibition presenting new tendencies of constructive art, and she became a part of this important phenomenon in Czech art. Her latest objects presented at this exhibition led her to the idea of the viewer as an active participant on the creation of her artworks. This resulted in four actions taking place in the open landscape and an event called Hay, straw in the prestigious Gallery of Václav Špála in 1969. For this work she was largely critisized by the communist media as well as the Czech artistic community. This all led to her isolation in the 70's and 80's. From 1976 she created a series of tapestries. During this work she discovered a rabbit/hare as her emblematic symbol for a long period. She started to collect all relevant information about its significance in various cultures. In 1984 she returned to painting. She updated her structures based on sateen weave by using thousands of rabbit silhouettes instead of...

Illustration in the works of Petr Nikl, Martin Velíšek and František Skála Jr.
Vostrá, Lucie ; Klimešová, Marie (referee) ; Lahoda, Vojtěch (advisor)
Petr Nikl and Martin Velfsek began to illustrate books as Frantisek Skala Jr. did during the eighties or nineties of the 20 th century. But the illustration itself made and still makes only a small (but meaningful) part among their extensive artistic activities. However, their generally nonconformal relation to arts brings into whole illustration new and surprising conceptions and breaks standard and classical models of treatment of literary works. The character of artistic realizations is very intimate, inly reserved and painterly in the case of Petr Nikl, which is distinctly confirmed by his illustrations of world-famous melancholy fairy tales by Oscar Wilde. Also VeHsek's conception of the classical Czech novel Babicka, which was written by Bozena Nemcova, represents, for its expressivity and combination of modem contemporary elements with quite different prinCiples of the text, the extraordinary individual experiment. Alhough Skala illustrates some books in absolutely classical style, he is able to react excellently and sensibly on contents of the books, thanks to the change of his drawing. He has used an interesting combination of photography with text and Velfsek has illustrated with subtle humour several delightful books. Especially in the illustrations, which are related to their own text, there is...

Mirko Hanák (1921 - 1071) in the context of contemporary illustration
Fulíková, Anna ; Klimešová, Marie (advisor) ; Stehlíková, Blanka (referee)
Children's book publishing was a part of the state-controlled system after 1945 and several movements can be recognised within it. The development and illustration requirements, changing during the 1950s and 1960s, can be mostly inferred from contemporary literature by writers Stehlíková and Holešovský, the Zlatý máj magazine or submissions to the 1972 Brno symposium exploring the relationship between literary text and its visual art interpretation. After outlining the principal relationships, this work focuses on a more detailed exploration of the illustrations by Mirko Hanák, whose work originated during the 1950s and 1960s before being terminated by a premature death in 1971. Hanák freed himself of the compulsory realism during the 1950s and chose a path towards symbolism, which helped him achieve a respected creative status in the 1960s. Hanák's talents chiefly manifested themselves in his wildlife illustrations for adventure books, where he employed the watercolour technique. He took inspiration from Chinese ink painting, with which he became familiarised thanks to the many exhibitions taking place in the context of the contemporary cultural exchange between Czechoslovakia and the People's Republic of China. Both working with the originals of Hanák's illustrations and a comparison between individual...

Application of spectrophotometers
Klimešová, Marie ; Čmiel, Vratislav (referee) ; Kolář, Radim (advisor)
The work deals with the important analytical method - spectrometry. It is based on measurement of absorption of radiation in a wavelength range. On this principle can determine the absorbance and transmittance of the measured samples. The thesis also describes events related to the excitation of molecules. These include absorption, vibrational relaxation, internal conversion, inter-system crossing, fluorescence, phosphorescence and delayed fluorescence. The practical part includes three experimental measurements. The first measurement is the concentrations of potassium permanganate solution. In a second experiment, verifying the validity of Lambert-Beer law. In the third experiment, the fluorescence measurement of fluorescein and detection of fluorophore concentration dependence on fluorescence intensity. Measurement is performed in an environment SpectraSuite with the use of school spectrometers USB2000 + and USB650 Red Tide.

Electrophoretic and immunofluorescence methods for study of plant cell cultures
Klimešová, Marie ; Babula, Petr (referee) ; Provazník, Ivo (advisor)
In all organisms are rising a reactive oxygen and nitrogen species by the effects of various stress factors and these species have a negative impact on the organism. Due to this species plants have built up an efficient antioxidant system, that helps them to resist negative effects of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species. In this work was researched the effect of hydrogen peroxide and sodium benzoate on the production of hydrogen peroxide, superoxide, reactive nitrogen species and malondialdehyde, contained in the root and above-ground part of maize (Zea mays L.). By use of the fluorescence microscopy there were obtained images of cross-cut of root from which was determined the intensity of fluorescence of individual parts of the root and was examined the effect of the intensity of fluorescence markers of oxidative stress in dependence on the type of the fluorescence filter used.
