(Sur)reality in Work of Mikulas Medek
Pišanová, Andrea ; Vojvodík, Josef (advisor) ; Murár, Tomáš (referee)
This thesis follows the artistic and literary work of Mikuláš Medek in the period of the fifties of twentieth century in the contemporary literary context, with the area of analogies and divisions we explored not being limited by the boundaries of the scope of surrealist artists. The testimonials of the situation people found themselves in after the year 1948, the complexities and contradictions of the meaning of human existence - it is from these subjects that both the ethical dimensions of Medek's work and sort of kinship with the work of the other poet-artist Jiří Kolář grow. Humor, irony, the struggle with the legacy of surrealism, the demand for harsh realism - all these artistic bases overlap, to a degree, with those of artists who gathered around Edice Půlnoc. The focus of the work presents an analysis of selected motifs (violence and everydayness), through which Medek relates to the "world we live in". Key words Mikulas Medek, literature, violence, existence, ideology
