Work of Alois Boháč in the context of the Czech symbolism
PAVLÍČKOVÁ, Denisa
Academic painter and secondary professor of drawing Alois Boháč was born in 1885 in the city Volyně and he died in 1945. His work is characteristic especially fairy tale elements: in his fantasy world figures different creature, watermans, wizards, goblins, hairy dwarves and other beings. This elements I try to compare with the work of the Czech symbolist artists, who in his works this topics also focused. This is especially about Maxmilán Pirner, Josef Váchal, Jaruslav Panuška, Richard Heinrich Terschner and Hanuš Schwaiger. I will focus especially on the period of years 1880 1914: from the beginning symbolism in the Czech republic to its the reach the top.
