Mariana Kubištová CZECH ARCHITECTURAL PHOTOGRAPHY IN THE 1920s TO THE 1950s Abstract The thesis Czech Architectural Photography in the 1920s to the 1950s presents the theme of architecture photography, from the 1920's to the 1950's, focusing on Czech cultural setting, observing photography meeting contemporary acts in the field of architecture, thus the photography of modern architecture. It methodologically researches the theme from a visual study viewpoint; however it applies a little more traditional approaches, which try to define architecture photography depending on functions it carries out; to demarcate its various categories, describe its history and name some of its important representatives. Each of these approaches is able to capture a different aspect of the observed theme. The first part of the thesis attempts to answer what architecture photography is, what we can qualify as architecture photography and how we can approach and interpret it. It summarizes research and knowledge of this field up till now, not just within Czech cultural setting but also abroad. Last but not least, it tries to outline historical, social and artistic context of the researched era. The second part counts with the presumption that the core and the biggest volume of visual material lies in the field of professional...

Producing and Presenting Photographs in the Form of „Newprints“
Bohdan, Vlado ; Mašterová, Katarína
The core of the conservation procedure is in the method for making so-called “new prints” – new analogue photographs – black and white gelatine silver-bromide prints (blow-ups or contact copies) of the original historical negatives. The prerequisite for understanding the procedure is knowledge of dark room work. This original procedure is intended for private collections and institutions which aim to present negatives of a deceased photographer in a way which is as close to the author’s original intention as is currently possible. The procedure was developed on a specific collection of Josef Sudek’s negatives with the topic of reproductions of art works and architecture. Theoretical justification for the procedure, as well as examples of its practical outcomes, are also part of the text.

Identifying Negatives and their Storage Methods Based on Type of Film Support
Cíglerová, Tereza ; Doležalová, Kateřina
The conservation procedure presents the methods of identifying photographic negatives on polymer supports , especially by means of a cellulose nitrate base and cellulose acetate base, and the choice of various techniques on the basis of various factors, such as the collection’s size and physical condition, the workspace’s available equipment, the financial and time availability or the experiences of the identifying persons. For their indisputable informational value, the conservationist approach favors pilot survey which provides the initial idea about the collection’s material and physical composition and then helps with the choice of identification methods applied during the research phase. In the second part, the methodology focuses on the issues associated with long-term storage of the negatives and compares their recommended standards with the actual means at the disposal of minor institutions. It also proposes fitting, or at least acceptable, solutions.

Micka, Alois ; Lahoda, Vojtěch (advisor) ; Wittlich, Petr (referee)
5 ANNOTATION The subject of this bachelor work is the description and presentation of the works of Mr. Frantisek Tichy. The aim is to focus on his works in the 1940s in the context of his peak of technical abilities and the development of spirituality in his works. For the purpose of organization, Mr. Tichy's artwork is classified by the date of the creation and organized accordingly. It is also divided into individual chapters in accordance to the techniques being used. The introduction of this work focuses mostly on the life of Mr. Frantisek Tichy. In particular, much is focused on his education in painting and the influential events in his life that have had an impact on his artwork. Undoubtedly, a large role in his artwork was thanks to his pedagogical role at the Fine Arts University in the 1940s. Much of his artwork also reflected the political situation and social changes of the time. Mr. Tichy did not adapt his works in favour of the principles of social realism and thus also was discharged from the university. The following chapters are devoted to his actual artwork. His artwork is clearly defined into many categories such as: painting, graphics, illustrations, practical artwork and theatre. Throughout his life, Mr. Tichy went through an entire cycle of themes, which he has continued to portray in...
