Structures in the Paintings by Pavel Hayek- Wider Implications of the Structuralist Background
 SLUNEČKOVÁ, Eva
The Bachelor's thesis examines the work of the painter Pavel Hayek, especially the structure phenomenon, which dominates in his paintings. The three thematic parts of this study consist of individual periods of Hayek's work, which are thoroughly analysed. The main part of the thesis examines various forms of structures in Hayek's paintings and compares him with other artists, with a special emphasis placed on the production of random geometric structures, which occur in Hayek's works most noticeably. The Bachelor's thesis also notices the repetition principle and its different use in Czech and international art. The aim of the thesis is defining the wider implications of structuralist background of Hayek's paintings. Its roots can be seen among others in neoconstructivist tendency of Czech art in the 1960's and particularly in the work of Zdeněk Sýkora, whose exhibition in 1988 had a very strong influence on Hayek's work. The thesis also relates his work with a specific form of an organic abstraction in the context of ornamental and optical art. It attempts to describe possible sources of all these influences and their unique transformation in Pavel Hayek's paintings.
