The theme of the death in Bohumil Kubista's work in the years 1912-1918
Richterová, Helena ; Lahoda, Vojtěch (advisor) ; Wittlich, Petr (referee)
The topic of this study are the paintings on the death theme in the meridian works of Bohumil Kubišta around the time of the first World War. This dilemma has not been elaborated on in any previous publication. The task focuses on individual paintings complemented by relevant sub-chapters as the painter's life was full of major circumstances influencing his work. Though the main focus is on Kubišta's production from the period between 1912 and 1918, the painting Resurrection of Lazarus (1911) was appended. This painting concludes Kubišta's classicist period, and becomes an important milestone in the painter's understanding of death which is still illuminated by the interpretation of old masters. St. Sebastian (1912) opens the dilemma in pursuit of self-stylization and response to the contemporary events. The other mentioned paintings, which are always depicting two figures aiming to detach us from reality, violently gripping the soul - Kiss of Death, Murder, Hypnotist (1912). The artist is portraying the relationship of the actor with his victim. Apart from figurative paintings, the theme of vanitas appears, for example in Still Life with Skull (1912). The enumeration of paintings is concluded by portrayals of military operations Fakir (1914), Hanged (1915).

Alén Diviš and Karel Jaromír Erben's Kytice
Lahodová, Kateřina ; Klimešová, Marie (advisor) ; Skálová, Vanda (referee)
This thesis deals with illustratons to Kytice ballads by Karel Jaromír Erben. It is divided into two parts. The first section is focused on relations of the illustrations and the collection of poems as well as the historical context and the context of other painter's works. I try to point out that Diviš'es illustrations do not represent a new artistic stage but a synthesis of his previous works from the forties. In adition, the illustrations are closely connected with the artist's own destiny. In the other section of my thesis I analyse individual illustrations from the point of view of their different technics and motives. Another aspect follows relations between the illustrations and contents of respective individual poems. To sum up, the thesis aims to introduce Diviš'es unique collection of illustrations as an existential message of an artis stricken by his fate; that goes beyond ordinary illustrations for the ballads of the gratest Czech romantic poet. KEY WORDS Illustrations Mythus Ballad The Specter's Bride Jan Zrzavý Emil Filla
