The Domestication of Cubism: Kramář's Biedermeier
Lahoda, Vojtěch
The thesis of the study is based on Vincenc Kramář's way of thinking. Explaining cubism in his book Kubismus from 1921, he uses characteristics that would be very adequate to describe the atmosphere of a Biedermeier interior or intimacy. If we draw links between this semantic focus of Kramář's statements and his own personal hobbies as an art historian in the 19th century, but also as a collector, and his private hobbies or personal life, we will discover points of contact. The description of Picasso's cubist paintings as a sort of "domestic art" is in harmony with his passion for the art of the early 19th century, above all its first quarter. The article deals with the Biedermeier semantics in Kramář's statements, art-historical focuses and in his personal life, in his preference of the family and collector's activities.
