Max Dvořák and Turn of Art (History) to Work of Art
Murár, Tomáš
In the last years of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, it is possible to observe in literature and the visual arts the destabilisation of previously valid values in relation to tradition, which was no longer able to sufficiently express the world in its completeness. This process can also be observed in art historical research, in its shift away from research into the autonomous development of art towards defining a work of art by thinking about the time of its creation. This transformation is identified in particular with the influence of the spiritual sciences (Geisteswissenschaften), which were also developed by the Czech-born art historian Max Dvořák. In this paper it will be shown, using his thought as an example, how the art historical definition of the work of art can be related to the art of the early 20th century, i.e. as defining itself against the hitherto valid thought concepts of the late 19th century.

Conceptualisation of Art: Negation of Form and the Problem of Nature of Conceptual Art.
ŘÍHOVÁ, Monika
The bachelor thesis deals with the problematic aspects of avant-garde, which were amplified and developed in the postwar movement known as neo-avant-garde in visual art, and especially with its conceptual tendencies which represent constant challenge for current aesthetics. Firstly the basis of aesthetic theory of art will be outlined in order to explain and show where the critique of aesthetics by conceptual artists is leading to. Then it introduces possibilities and limits of selected definition strategies, character of the relationship of conceptual art to other types of art and non-artistic activities, especially its approach to the philosophy and science. The key points of this thesis are: What is conceptualism? What transforms the neo-avant-garde pieces of works into art? Can we apply aesthetic categories at conceptualism? In which way does the conceptual piece work as a symbol?
