Comparison of progress and several specific masterpieces of Oscar Kokoschka`s Prague exile period and Max Beckmann`s Amsterdam exile period
Bišof, Petr ; Pech, Milan (advisor) ; Bendová, Eva (referee)
The work deals with Prague exile period of Oscar Kokoschka and Amsterdam exile period of Max Beckmann. Right these two artists were choosen for the reason, that both were representatives of expressionistic style, they belonged to same generation (Beckmann born in 1884, Kokoschka 1886) and both were affected by the similar social-political influences (from the work point of view is the most important influence the political oppression of the third decade). The main part of this work deals with a question, how the life in exile, as well as repression and intimidation from the nazi regime, changed artisctic progress of both artists, whereas the author tries to describe these changes in three features of art - in self-portrait, landscape-painting and allegoric paintings. In the scope of these areas he tries to compare how did these two artists react to the same influences outside art (for example politicized exhibition "Entartete Kunst"), how did they see themselves in this dramatic era, and to show this at specific pieces of art.

The core part of the thesis is devoted to the lifework of a Czech artist Dana Jandová (1930-2014) with an emphasis on the graphic production, which came close to outweighing her activity in painting during the first decade of her career. By analyzing the themes that engaged Jandova's attention, the main aim of the author is to trace the development and the chronology of her stylistically varied oeuvre. In doing so, the intent of the work is to evaluate the artist's graphic production in its broader cultural and historical context.

Historic Building as a Museum (Contemporary Architecture and Heritage Conservation Issues)
Trefná, Magdaléna ; Czumalo, Vladimír (advisor) ; Bendová, Eva (referee)
The master's student will conduct a study dedicated to the question of using heritage objects for the presentation of museum collections with the emphasis on art museums and the possibilities and limits of contemporary architecture. The subject of the thesis will first be explored through a short historical review which will organically connect the history of collecting with the history of architecture and historic preservation. The chosen topic will be further specified through a case study showing some of the issues faced when adapting and using heritage objects for the needs of an art museum. This will be done using the example of the National Gallery in Prague. The core part of the thesis will be a comparative analysis of selected contemporary architecture interventions in historical buildings in the Czech Republic. This will lead to conclusions about the relationship between the generally accepted belief in a cultural - ideally museum - use as a non-conflict ideal of a future life for heritage objects, as well as the opportunities and limits of contemporary architecture in its fulfilment. A selective catalogue and a picture appendix will be part of the thesis. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Depiction of architecture and perspective in the artwork of J. M. W. Turner
Krčmářová, Alena ; Bendová, Eva (advisor) ; Pech, Milan (referee)
J. M. W. Turner (1775-1851) began his career studying architecture. At the suggestion of Thomas Hardwick (1752-1829), he left his pursuit of architecture and concentrated instead on painting. This remained Turner's primary subject until the end of his life, though his interest in architecture remained a prevalent theme throughout his professional career, present in both his artwork and his lectures given under the title Professor of Perspective at the Royal Academy in London between the years of 1811 and 1828. This Bachelor's thesis describes the artwork and lectures of William Turner with a focus on his depiction of architecture and atmospheric perspective, examining his usage of lights and colours based on the sketches, diagrams, and notes gathered in sketchbooks at the collection of the Tate Britain Gallery in London. Among these sketches are designs and plans for Turner's own home, Sandycombe Lodge, built in the Italian style not far from city of London. This thesis also notes the differences in Turner's usage of atmospheric perspective and painting principles in comparison with other painters of his day.
