On the Geishas from Vršovice. Hloucha's Dab of the Exotic as a Contribution to Types of Entertainment Offered by the Capital City
Kořínková, Lucie ; Kořínek, Pavel
Příspěvek pojednává o takzvané japonské čajovně, kterou na pražském holešovickém výstavišti u příležitosti Jubilejní výstavy v roce 1908 provozovali bratři Joe a Karel Hlouchovi. Autoři se domnívají, že tento podnik přitahoval své hosty nejen nabídkou občerstvení, ale stejnou měrou, ne-li více, také příslibem exotického zážitku, modelovaného po vzoru podobných atrakcí v západních zemích. Text sleduje, jakým způsobem byla tato exotická atrakce konstruována, a zasazuje ji do kontextu díla a podnikatelských aktivit japonofila a autora sentimentálních románů o Japonsku Joe Hlouchy. Nastiňuje také, jak tato atrakce souvisela s dobovým obrazem Japonska na Západě obecně, se společenskou módou japanismu a s tím, jak se tyto odrážely v zábavě středostavovských společenských vrstev. Na citacích z humoristických a publicistických článků o čajovně studie ukazuje, že návštěvníci si byli umělosti „hry na Japonsko“ částečně vědomi, aniž by to ovšem zcela kazilo jejich radost z „exotického zážitku“.

Japonisms in the czech architecture at the beginning of the 20th century - group around Joe Hloucha
Chýlová, Lenka ; Czumalo, Vladimír (advisor) ; Šmied, Miroslav (referee)
In my thesis, I will be focusing on the impact and influence of Japanese culture on the Czech lands, particularly demonstrating this on the architecture of the beginning of the twentieth century. I will point out the importance of breaking of the eternal Japan's isolation from the outside world and its subsequent opening to the western culture. I will demonstrate this fact on a presentation containing extracts from the EXPO exhibitions and on the current of Japanese artistic objects and their influence on the artists as well as on the general public. I will be focusing on the personality of the writer, collector, a well-known japanophile and a promulgator of the land of Nippon, Joe Hloucha, who brought this culture to the public not only through his novels but through buildings and constructions built in the first half of the twentieth century as well. As a conclusion of my thesis, I will try to make a summary of Hloucha's view of Japan and its culture. Keywords architecture, japonisms, Japan, Czech lands, Joe Hloucha

Joe Hloucha's Collection of West African Art (1881-1957)
VRLÍKOVÁ, Lenka
This thesis focuses on origination and development of Joe Hloucha's Art Collection, a significant Czech collector of non-European art of the first half of 20th century. Despite of its great significance, African Art still does not stand in the centre of interest of the Czech art-historians. One of the main objectives of this thesis is to remind a personality who almost had been forgotten and to disclose the situation of the art market in Prague. The attention is further applied to the attempt of creating the structure of Joe Hloucha's collector activities relating to the territory of West Africa. On the basis of sources I consequently create the very first list of all works of art that come from the chosen geographic territory either bought or differently acquired into the collections of the Náprstek Museum of Asian, African and American Cultures. I tried to emphasize the priority function of some chosen artifacts which is important for the Africans. The last chapter is dedicated to the problematic destiny of the collection.
