THE CHANGES IN THINKING AND REFLECTION IN ART THANKS TO WORLD WAR I
ČURDA, Bohuslav
The aim of this bachelor's thesis is to present and analyse the art of the early 20th century in Central Europe, so that it is possible to evaluate how the mentally complex social situation before, during and after the war was reflected in art, and how people's thinking has changed. Painting and literature will be pointed out and it will be lightly linked to the music of individual artistic styles. Each of the styles, which in this work includes expressionism, cubism, futurism and dadaism, depicts a view of the world, which leads us to the conclusion that behind it all is man, or society. According to the works I have selected, which have moved with time and influenced the direction of art, we will finally conclude that the theme of the works and the resulting feelings flexibly indicated the direction in which Europe was heading. At first, man longed for a change that would be brought by war, so expressionism often follows on from shocking to haunting matters in conjunction with contrasting colors. Subsequent cubism seeks to fend off the confusing fruits of science that new technologies have brought. The result is the decomposition or destruction of previously clear things. Futurism will further support this idea with a focus on radical destruction through technology and the expectation of a more dynamic and modern future in terms of technology. And the dadaism created during the war only reflects violence and tries to break the old values in its grotesque art that is supposed to end the war. In the same way, other artistic directions realize the destructiveness of modern warfare, and after the war they try to warn against the technologies of the new war, or just retroactively reflect the horrible experiences of the war.

Canon of Czech modern art
Ficková, Barbora ; Pech, Milan (advisor) ; Winter, Tomáš (referee)
The thesis deals with the formation of the canon of Czech modern art during the 20th century based on the analysis of art groups Osma, Skupina výtvarných umělců and Tvrdošíjní and their time. Every artist becomes an object of interest of art historian right after he creates an artwork. The art historians are trying to classify him and put him into the story of art history. The concrete interpretation of the artist and his artwork depends on different circumstances and always reflects the period, when it has been created. It is affected by social and political situation, preferred art historian approach, possibility of artworks reproduction, used terminology and stereotypes. Osma, Skupina výtvarných umělců and Tvrdošíjní has been chosen because their activity is connected with the origins of Czech modern art and the activity of their members is often reflected in the art historian literature. The chase of social-political situation during the 20th century allows naming also other topics that have influence on the form of the Czech modern art. The thesis analyses important exhibitions held between the years 1935-1998 and the survey literature written in the same time. Based on the analysis it introduces the concrete changes in the canon of Czech modern art. Keywords Canon of modern art, Cubism,...

The end of The Carnival - Poetism on the verge of the 1930s
Bílková, Petra ; Wiendl, Jan (advisor) ; Vojvodík, Josef (referee)
Univerzita Karlova v Praze Filozofická fakulta Ústav české literatury a literární vědy Diplomová práce Petra Bílková KONEC KARNEVALU poetismus na přelomu 20. a 30. let THE END OF THE CARNIVAL Poetism on the verge of the 1930s Praha 2012 Vedoucí práce: doc. PhDr. Jan Wiendl, Ph.D. Abstract In the first half of the 1920's, in the Czech avant-garde, a new art began to form - Poetism. On the basis of individual manifests and programmatic articles it was defined as modus vivendi. In the 1920's many principles and ideas were shaping the future, not only for the society, but also for the artistic movements. Poetism featured mainly an original concept of art and life; the authors of theoretical articles were mainly Karel Teige and Vítězslav Nezval. Within a few years the concept of life as a careless game and a source of joy faded and bitter- sweet topics began to penetrate Poetism. At this time, the poetics of Poetism changed from the original cheerfulness and everyday beauty to serious existential topics - the evidence is provided by many works of art. This transformation affected poetry the most. In poems made by authors, who came out of Poetism, inspiration thereby gathered is still evident; however, more serious issues are coming to the fore. Each of those poems expresses a distinct reconciliation with the...
