View, Photography and New Technological Eras
 Stecker, Marcel ; PETŘÍČEK, Miroslav (advisor) ; ŠIMLOVÁ, Štěpánka (referee)
American painter Ed Ruscha has been using medium of photography since his studies at Chouinard ART Institute in Los Angeles. In 1963 he published author's book Twentysix Gasoline Stations which depicts gasoline stations on the road between Los Angeles and Oklahoma. My diploma thesis describes Ruscha´s book and the time and circumstances under which it was being made. I am putting Ruscha´s book in the context of cold war and atmosphere of this period. I am writing about american individualism and expansion of automobility and its strategies. I focused deeply on Ruscha´s early artist period and his studies in Los Angeles. I am describing the historical context of Ruscha´s way from Oklahoma to Los Angeles. I emphasize its influence on american society. I inquire Ruscha's point of view to art, art history and his resistance to mainstream that was coming from New York to California. The book Twentysix Gasoline Stations was published three years after Ruscha's graduation, so it is considered as an early masterpiece. I am writing about fusion of art and roadside imagery and its historical context of 30's and 40's. I emphasize their difference and their similarity. The field of my study was extended by Paul Virilio´s essay Aesthetics of Disappearance where Virilio draws relationship between automobilism and cinematography. Through his essay I am coming back to Ed Ruscha and thanks to it I am finding new relationships in Ruscha's work. I enhance the atmosphere of this period by mentioning roadmovies and its link to american individualism and explosion of automobilism. I contrast this context with situation in Europe, its identity and geopolitical influences. At the end of my thesis I emphasize Ruscha's work and his contribution to questions about aesthetic and non-aesthetic and his reflexion of automobilism expansion and a book form as a new way to present art.

Visual Communication
 Stecker, Marcel ; Císař, Karel (advisor) ; Silverio, Robert (referee)
My bachelor thesis is seeking relevant relationship between a photography and a painting. I am analyzing first part of Rosalind Krauss?s text Notes on the Index and I?m trying to apply her scheme of clash of two differently coded communications on other examples from history of art. I?m describing different levels of art piece The New Painting, which is the continuous link in my thinking. In this series is Elina Brotherus touching the relationship based on visual analogy, which I consider lame and at the same another relationship, which I consider relevant. In terms of this relationship I put digitally manipulated photography in the correct context and I am explaining, why it did not fundamentally change or flatten relationship between painting and photography. In the second part of the thesis I deal with the importance of author?s style in fine art and photography. I am comparing Matthias Grünewald?s Isenheim Altarpiece with a contemporary piece The Stations of the Cross made by Damien Hirst and David Bailey.
