Imaginary Landscapes
Hudcová, Veronika ; Bárta, Tomáš (referee) ; Kvíčala, Petr (advisor)
In the paintings of my bachelor work I'm inspired by the visuality of my dreams and the atmosphere of them. I was painting my imaginations of the imaginary worlds and landscapes. That naturaly pushed me in the sci fi theme. I used some cosmic objects and machinery I created by myself just for this case. This machinery or organisms are occupy the landscapes. I was not painting just my ideas but I was trying my paintings to give rise to imagination of the viewer. I should refer to inspiration by surrealism, especialy by the work of Josef Šíma and Toyes. Some connection is also with the Miroslaf Štolfa´s work.

Polonyiová, Veronika ; Pech, Milan (advisor) ; Czumalo, Vladimír (referee)
Illustration of Czech popular music sheet covers in the first half of the 20th century Abstract This diploma thesis focuses on the visual form of popular music sheet covers published in selected publishers in the first half of the 20th century, especially on small formats of the twenties to forties. Many Czech as well as several foreign artists influenced by various artistic tendencies took part in the artistic processing of the covers. The creation of a large part of them is closely connected with illustration, poster creation and advertising activities. Some artists have been creating covers systematically and we can find their work in several publishers, but for some this activity was only a short episode in their work. The resulting prints of music sheet covers obtained in the institutions that collect them are documented and evaluated here - especially the Music Department of the National Library and the Czech Museum of Music belonging to the National Museum in Prague. In some cases, this section also records the original illustrations stored in the Museum of Applied Arts in Prague, which were very helpful in identifying the artistic practices. It is clear from this diploma thesis that the illustrations of these sheet music, which have not been given space in the literature so far, are an important...

Reflection of Sexuality in Toyen's Work From the Perspective of Art Criticism
Fousková, Veronika ; Sokolová, Věra (advisor) ; Kalnická, Zdeňka (referee)
Toyen and sexuality is a frequent topic of art history texts written about the artist in the last twenty years. Toyen provoked with her erotic drawings and illustrations, her appearance and mysteriousness shrouded around her. Where did the roots of her desire, depicted in her work, came from? What was the role played by contemporary context? How her contemporaries wrote about sexuality? Were there any interpretations of the artist's work based on the known information about her person or personality? What was the Toyen's position as a woman? The empirical part of my thesis is based on research, where I try to seek for answers to the questions found in the texts published in Czechoslovakia. The research is bounded by years 1922-1947. Years when Toyen entered respectively left the Czech art scene. Her work has therefore been interpreted by persons who lived in the same cultural context, some of them were actually her personal acquaintances. I will also try to answer the question whether the contemporary texts differ from the texts written after 1989, eventually how. Within the examining the reflection of sexuality in the work of Toyen I will also ask myself whether the perspectives of view are different in the eyes of men and women. The question put in this way accompanies, depending on the answer,...

Tribute to Toyen. Artist´s book
SKOPCOVÁ, Petra
This thesis consists of two parts, written and practical. The subject of the written part is life and work of the surrealist artist Toyen. Despite the fact that Toyen is primarily known as a painter, I look at Toyen primarily as a first class illustrator and graphic designer in my thesis. The practical part is then the making of author's books inspired by graphic creation of Toyen. The main sources of inspiration for me were mainly the drawing cycles from the war period, such as The shooting range, and her artistically adapted erotic themes that she pursued throughout the whole course of her work. The result is the making of author's book containing fifteen sheets including book jacket and flyleaf. The aim of my work was not only a summary and processing of the creation of this artist, but especially to give a tribute to Toyen in this way.
