Martin Salcman 1896-1979
Brabec, Tomáš ; Lahoda, Vojtěch (advisor) ; Wittlich, Petr (referee)
History of the modern 20th century art resembles a jungle of styles, full of personal or collective expresslons and many errant ways. Big roads of early 20th century -ISMs were planned and marked out by names known today around the world or at least In Europe. These maln streams navigated whole groups of artists and their followers. They were, however, very often interconnected with a complicated network of sidewalks, shortcuts and detours, full of hard working individuals searching for their own complex, but still unique invention. Staying in the shade and trying to understand similarities between the "high art" of their famous companions, they became philosophical bridges between styles as well as tireless engineers dismantling or connecting them. 1artin Salcman was such an individual. He was born In ~896 in a poor family. His father died when he was 10, his mother shortly after he became 14. Still a student of local secondary school he has shown his strong sense for artistic expression and doubtless talent. It may have been recognized by some of his relatives or school authorities. His self-portrait "A Young Boy dressed in a Working Cloth", surprisingly 1n oil, 1S certainly untouched by any professional training but it clearly shows Salcman's future potential. It 1S necessary to admit that Around the his...
Personalities and development of Czech comics until 1949
Diesingová, Helena ; Lahoda, Vojtěch (advisor) ; Wittlich, Petr (referee)
Zahraniční komiksy otiskované v českých periodikách jsou jen dalším dokladem skutečnosti, že tato forma vyjadřování nebyla u nás do. roku 1945, chápána jako samozřejmá. O tom svědčí potřeba přetvářet již hotový zakoupený komiks do formy obrázkového seriálu, tzn. opatřovat němý comic strip verši, popřípadě vymazávat u komiksu text v bublinách. Jak už bylo řečeno, největší oblibě se těšily postavičky z dílny Walta Disneye, a to na základě filmových grotesek. Zbytek jednostránkových zahraničních komiksu, které byly v českých časopisech otiskovány, spadá do druhořadé kategorie světové produkce. Daleko častěji byly přejímány novinové comic stripy, jejichž oblibu u čtenářu si vydavatelé ověřili. Na tomto poli se také odehrávaly české "pokusy" o komiks.

Rudovská, Magdalena ; Wittlich, Petr (advisor) ; Kybalová, Jana (referee)
The beginning of the 1960s was marked in the history of tapestry discipline in European scene by forceful entry of artists-creators realizations, the condition of consequent breaking of this artist-creator tapestry, so-called the new tapestry or the art fabric (in English-speaking countries), to the contemporary artistic life. Preconditions of both of these aspects were lined up by a development of a previous decade, a period when in oposition to stereotypes, conventions and a routine technique of tapestry making in gobelin manufactories and with demands of (on) the ultimate autenticity of artistic communication, opened to begin forming a way of authorship execution, a personal participation of artist in the entire creative process, as a kind of the art weaving incomparable to value of studio's realizations by intensity and mode of artist's message, its artistic language and its sources of inspiration. Althought (Even if) the production of gobelin manufactories was renewed by a revaluation of materials and technological qualities, awakened confrontation of these controversy creative approachs to the weaving eventuated to the inevitable divission between manufactory tapestries woven in the traditional reproductive way according to painted cartoons - designs requisite in line of subject, technology of...

Salome in the art of symbolism and decadence and her representation in czech fine arts at the begining of the 20th century
Johanidesová, Tereza ; Wittlich, Petr (advisor) ; Prahl, Roman (referee)
The theme of this dissertation is a representation of biblical figure of Jewish princess Salome in fine arts. The author of this dissertation focuses mainly attention on the turn of the 19th and 20th century, when the theme of Salome became the fundamental motif of the Symbolist and Decadence art. In this time Salome started to appear very frequently in the world of literature, painting, sculpture and graphic art as well and she epitomized nearly the icon and the idol for the artists of this period. But in fact Salome as one of the figures acting in the New Testament narrative about the death of John the Baptist was a biblical subject with rich iconographic tradition developing systematically already from the Early Christian art. It is for this reason that the part of this dissertation comprises also the brief analysis of the narrative and the outline of his iconography in the sphere of fine arts. The chapters devoted to the genearal characterization of Symbolism and Decadence serve as an introduction into this complicated age, when the reconsideration of previous values in the sphere of fine arts, science, politics and society projects into the visual representations too. With regard to interconnection of literature and fine arts at the turn of the 19th century, the attention is also payed to the most...
