Political ideas of Bohumil Laušman - story of the democratic socialist
Horák, Pavel ; Čechurová, Jana (advisor) ; Kuklík, Jan (referee)
Bohumil Laušman (born August 30th, 1903) was a member of the Social Democratic Party. He was elected member of the National Assembly for the Pardubice region after ten years in regional politics. At the age of thirty-one he became the youngest Member of Parliament. He organised the foundation of the second parliament formation after the Munich events within the system of limited democracy, the National Labour Party. Not only did he show courage, he also showed sense for reality, when he was regulating some left-wing radicals in the weak party. He participated actively in the resistance after the establishment of the protectorate. In his resistance, he promoted collaboration across the political spectrum. That is why the selfconfident Laušman entered the exile with the idea that the left-wing party should have a moral right to determine political direction of exile institutions, which were forming at that time. His obvious left-wing tendency and non-constructive behaviour are possible to be seen after the failure of his political formation of Czechoslovakia's resistance movement in Paris and London. He travelled to the USSR in the middle of the year 1942 to get acquainted with political ideas of the representatives of the Czechoslovak resistance residing there, possibly to get their political support. During...

Magdová, Marcela ; Županič, Jan (advisor) ; Soukup, Jaromír (referee)
movement when Czech language was the main attribute of national competency taken by the first patriots. Aristocracy understood however this competency differently. They believed in the old professional traditions from territorial point of view ("terrestrial patriotism") and with respect to their German orientation became to be Czech Germans. Absence of misunderstanding between the aristocratic and common community was resulting by their different opinion of conservative and liberal world view. As from 1848 already two antagonistic groups of high-born and the other people exist. One try-out to retrieve all gentle elites was done in the 2nd half of 19 century when we can see overall tendency to find common conclusion in the society held by the old Czech party. However Young Czech publicists were strictly against and Czech aristocracy was found fault with all disasters came to the Czech country. Starting with the eighties a fall-back of aristocracy, mainly in cultural and intellectual areas became stronger. Common life was more oriented on the other part of community. Aristocracy was gradually isolated in their own world represented by exquisite life style typical for previous periods. Incoming ninetieth just confirmed already stated reality. Nobility lost their political power and started to be concentrated...

Conservation of paintings in Czech Republic and Italy 1945-1970. Comparison of methods of Czech restoration school with Italian theory of conservation-restoration
Jebavá, Jana ; Royt, Jan (advisor) ; Nejedlý, Vratislav (referee)
The paper aims to compare Czech and Italian theory of conservation - restoration by laying the grounds of methodological approach of the Czech Restoration School in the context of the Theory of Restoration by Cesare Brandi. First step is to define the modern concept of conservation - restoration as opposed to the traditional one. In the basis of modern approach there is a notion of the historical value of a monument, which leads to the postulate of complete respect for the original material. This ground was developed in Italy by the so called philological method of monument preservation, represented by architect Camillo Boito and art historian Giovanni Battista Cavalcaselle. In MiddleEuropean countries, theories of Alois Riegl and Max Dvořák were of a crucial importance. A boom of scientific diagnostic methods applied to works of art served as another inducement for defining modern concept of conservatitionrestoration. In Italy, the center of research in this direction was the Istituto Centrale del Restauro in Rome, designed by Carlo Giulio Argan and Cesare Brandi. As the director of the ICR, Cesare Brandi was able to work up his theory of restoration in a direct contact with the actual experience of artwork restoration. In Czech Republic, the modern notion of restoration was being verified by Vincenc...

The work shows both groups in a context of state-church relationship and describes some reasons why these kinds of movements came into existence. First part compares situation of Catholic Church in Poland, Czechoslovakia and Hungary, Central European countries, which belonged to what is called Eastern Bloc and most of their citizens were Roman Catholics. It also refers to an existence of movements similar to "Patriotic Priests" in Czechoslovakia and Hungary and describes reasons why there was such a similarity in state politics against Church in all these countries.

In the beginning my thesis deals with the Kunstvereins, artistic associations which achieved significant development in the first half of the 19th century. It also concerns with the history of Krasoumna jednota (Fine Arts Union) - the first Czech society founded purely for spreading art among general public by means of releasing annual gifts and organizing yearly exhibitions. The work also treats shortly Spolecnost vlasteneckych pratel umeni (Society of Patriotic Friends of the Arts) which initiated the activity of Krasoumna jednota. The text itself analyzes development of graphic techniques used in the annual graphic gifts. It clarifies the significance of the gifts released by the art societies, deals with the selected gifts of the Krasoumna jednota and their inspiration with emphasis on engravers of German origin. In the end the work briefly compares three Czech societies for spreading of art which coexisted at the same time, and their gifts; Krasoumna jednota, Jednota umelcu vytvornych and Umelecka beseda.

Architect Bernhard Grueber (1806-1882)
Laštovičková, Věra ; Vybíral, Jindřich (advisor) ; Horyna, Martin (referee)
Bernhard Grueber (1806-1882) was invited to Prague in 1845 to become professor of Architecture at the local Academy of Arts. Being an experienced Bavarian architect from Munich, from the art centre of those times, he was expected to establish a high-quality school of architecture. This school had been founded not long before and his task was to bring up a new generation of creative personalities. Munich romanticism was supposed to become an alternative to Austrian state utilitarianism. Grueber was expected to enhance the vernacular architecture to the position of real art. But the conditions did not incline towards that. After the revolution of 1848 the emancipated Bohemian national movement did not support the production of the German artist. The task to revive vernacular art was entrusted to Bohemian artists. Neither German romanticism was found worth succession. And what more, Grueber provoked emotions of the Czech National Revival supporters with his art-historian works, where he emphasizes the common dependence of Czech art on German models. At the end he had to return to his native Bavaria in 1873. But paradoxically the young generation of architects of the end of 19th century, in their effort of finding the new true national style, drew from the same ideological source as the cursed architect: from...
