Block housing estate Lesna in context of time
Guzdek, Adam ; Rudiš, Viktor (referee) ; Glosová, Dagmar (referee) ; Urbášková, Hana (referee) ; Poslušná, Iva (advisor)
Brno Lesna is ranked among the most highly regarded housing estates in Czechoslovakia ever since it was built in the 1960s. Mainly due to its ideal location at southern slopes around natural ravine and timeless urban design. This settlement at the time also constituted the most perfect realization of the current method of construction in our country. It was fully functional and completely finished even before first residents moved in. However, cultivated expression of housing architecture was recently severely affected by inappropriate revitalization. Change of ownership after the events of November 1989 also opened the way for development companies desiring to open spaces to build new apartment buildings. Original inhabitants, though, fight against it and seek for protection of whole settlement as heritage.

Analysis of natural organic dyes and pigments by mass spectrometry
Stýblová, Marie ; Hrdličková Kučková, Štěpánka (advisor) ; Čapek Adamec, Martin (referee)
This thesis named "Analysis of natural organic dyes and pigments by mass spectrometry" investigates the identification of selected natural organic dyes and pigments by qualitative Laser Desorption/Ionisation - Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry analysis (LDI-TOF MS). The advantage of LDI-TOF MS method is its quick and reliable identification of low molecular weight material without preparatory chemical or time-consuming modification of samples. This method can be used for the analysis of works of art or for verifying their authenticity thanks to requiring only a little amount of sample. The LDI-TOF MS was tested on 19 organic dyes and pigments (e.g. alizarin, apigenin, baicalein, flavone, xanthone, tannic acid), four exemplarily prepared lakes (alizarin, purpurin, chrysin a quercetin lakes) and lakes mixed with organic binding media. The method was also successfully applied to two samples of blue color that were taken from Josef Čapek's painting called 'Procházka' (The Walk), that was dating back to 1936.

Preparation of polysaccharidic binders used in artworks
Švajcrová, Lenka ; Hrdličková Kučková, Štěpánka (advisor) ; Čapek Adamec, Martin (referee)
The main aim of this bachelor thesis was to prepare polysaccharide binders from the chosen kinds of starch (gained from potatoes, corn, wheat, rice and kuzu), Arabic gum and to pigment them. The created samples of the polysaccharide binders were then prepared for further investigation using liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). This work is also focused on the history of the production of starch, its origin, contained substances and growing of the specific plants, from which the starch is obtained from. Furthermore, there is also described the technology process of paintings and other polychromatic arts creation. The technical character of paintings is actually determined by the binders, thus apart from the polysaccharide binders there are also described oil, protein and oil-resin binders. Key words: polysaccharidic binders, starch, Arabic gum, artworks

Ján Mančuška and acquisitions of the Gallery of Fine Arts in Ostrava in 2018
Galerie výtvarného umění v Ostravě
Galerie výtvarného umění v Ostravě (GVUO) se v loňském roku zapojila do akvizičního projektu Ministerstva kultury České republiky. GVUO se i díky tomu podařilo v loňském roce zakoupit více než 160 uměleckých položek do galerijních sbírek v řádu milionů korun. V letošním roce proto GVUO zahajuje cyklus výstav ZISKY 2018, který bude po několik let prezentovat nové nákupy GVUO. První výstava s názvem (KON)TEXTY Jána Mančušky bude zahájena v úterý 22. ledna v 17 hodin. V Domě umění, GVUO bude k vidění do 24. března.

Fixtures, Fittings and Visual Art Objects in the Building of the Former Czechoslovak Federal Assembly
Konopčíková, Petra ; Biegel, Richard (advisor) ; Klimešová, Marie (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the building of the former Federal Assembly, designed by architect Karel Prager (1923-2001). The thesis depicts the circumstances relating to the new Parliament building and the resulting architectural design. The target is to map out the fixtures, fittings and visual art objects in the building. It was necessary to look up in- dividual artists whose works of art had been initially designated to decorate the building. The original artistic concept was created in the sixties during the time of political relax- ation that culminated by the Prague Spring. However, the concept had to be substantially altered in connection with the start of subsequent "political normalization" when most formerly participating creative artists became officially unacceptable. Important sources of information concerning visual art objects for the building were periodicals from the time of construction, monographies of individual artists, catalogues from their exhibitions and dialogues with those who were directly involved. The thesis does not merely enumerate individual works of art in the building but it considers them both with regard to their creators' other visual art objects and the cultural and political situation.
