Voháňková, Romana ; Wittlich, Petr (advisor) ; Prahl, Roman (referee)
This thesis wants to trace up sources and evolution of the theme of landscape in the life work of Josef Váchal. The first part concerns about art studies at privat school of Alois Kalvoda and its later influences. Subsequently it deals with the period between years 1906 and 1934 and analyses the theme of landscape in terms of content and form. Crucial is the chapter that describes Váchal's book Gabreta dying and romantic, in which the theme of landscape culminated. It was especially thanks to excellent skill in woodcut and entirely unusual view of landscape. It wanted to show fundamental principles of nature and its spiritual character, instead of pictorial view of coutry. Váchal's life work influenced even czech contemporary art, which is described in the last part of the thesis.

Painting and photography around 1900
Voháňková, Romana ; Wittlich, Petr (advisor) ; Prahl, Roman (referee)
This master thesis focuses on the influences of the new medium of photography on the czech painting around 1900. An important part of such a topic is the role of the photography as a sketch for a painter. Another important question is, how was the impact of the visual form of photography on painting, for instance the use of photographic illusion in painting or the influences of chronophotography and moment photography. An important issue is an essential difference between photography and painting in colour. Photography widely extended the visual experience around 1900, as it enabled to fix the images from the area of science and pseudoscience. The question also is, how these new images influenced the painting. This theses also describes, how painters commented on the new medium and how they perceived the attempt of photography to become a legitime subject of fine art. Key words: painting, photography, fine art around 1900
