Canon of Czech modern art
Ficková, Barbora ; Pech, Milan (advisor) ; Winter, Tomáš (referee)
The thesis deals with the formation of the canon of Czech modern art during the 20th century based on the analysis of art groups Osma, Skupina výtvarných umělců and Tvrdošíjní and their time. Every artist becomes an object of interest of art historian right after he creates an artwork. The art historians are trying to classify him and put him into the story of art history. The concrete interpretation of the artist and his artwork depends on different circumstances and always reflects the period, when it has been created. It is affected by social and political situation, preferred art historian approach, possibility of artworks reproduction, used terminology and stereotypes. Osma, Skupina výtvarných umělců and Tvrdošíjní has been chosen because their activity is connected with the origins of Czech modern art and the activity of their members is often reflected in the art historian literature. The chase of social-political situation during the 20th century allows naming also other topics that have influence on the form of the Czech modern art. The thesis analyses important exhibitions held between the years 1935-1998 and the survey literature written in the same time. Based on the analysis it introduces the concrete changes in the canon of Czech modern art. Keywords Canon of modern art, Cubism,...

Negators and approvers: Neo Cubism in today´s architecture
Švácha, Rostislav
The line of "Neo-Cubism" belongs to the architectural movements after 2000. It has its roots in the tradition of Czech architectural Cubism of the 1910s. Some architects of today work consciously with references to Cubist architecture, some of them deny this historical background. It is interesting in both cases to study the techniques which help these architects to achieve "Cubist" forms.

Otto Gutfreund
PECH, Milan
This thesis examines a psycho-sociological context of Otto Gutfreund´s sculptures and drawings. In the first stage author surveys memoirs of sculptor´s contemporaries, his family history and his early childhood development to find out Gutfreund´s psychological dispositions and dymanics of his personality. After that he deals with sculptor´s artistic style development in connection to his living conditions. He focuses on Gutfreund´s artistic expression and its changes. Autor shows that sculptor´s turn to Cubism (1910-1911), to Social Civilism (1919-1926) and his return to cubistic creative principles are not only determined by art-historical context but psycho-sociological context, as well.
