Denmark - Czechoslovakia 1947-1957, The Art and Architecture Beyond Functionalism, Surrealism and Bauhaus
Ištok, Radoslav ; Klimešová, Marie (advisor) ; Rasmussen, Mikkel Bolt (referee)
! The thesis is exploring art and architecture in Denmark and Czechoslovakia in the period 1947-1957. The main interest was to see how the interwar avant-garde movements such as Functionalism and Surrealism, as well as the legacy of Bauhaus, developed after the WWII. Yet, Functionalism and Surrealism can also be seen not only as mere artistic styles but as two different attitudes towards life, Rational and Romantic respectively. The latter, which is a passionate protest against the status quo, can especially in its revolutionary or utopian dimension serve as a form of engagement free of the simplifying Cold War binaries.
