Ceramic Sculpture in Prague Interwar Architecture This thesis project from the field of art history is dedicated to the use of ceramic sculpture in the architecture of the first Czechoslovak Republic. It puts an emphasis on so called "national style", which is defined theoretically in the first place and then explained in the context of the artistic development in Czechoslovakia and, more generally, the international art deco current. Separate chapters describe the role of Czech art schools and the significant personality and work of Helena Johnová. The scope of the research is limited to the monuments located in Prague, but it also takes into account important commissions situated outside the city, as well. A catalogue of ceramic sculpture associated with the Prague architecture of the concerned period forms part of the study. Keywords National Style, Ceramic Sculpture, Czechoslovakia, First Czechoslovak Republic, Helena Johnová, Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague Počet znaků (včetně mezer): 128 268

Main objective of this thesis is the building of Pardubice crematorium, which is an example of national architect style, so-called Rondocubism, created by the architect Pavel Janák. First part is dedicated to the theoretical fundaments derived from the former pre-war style of kubismus. In the second part these fundaments are explained on the submitted drawing proposals for the structure of Pardubice crematorium dating from the year 1919. Then the analysis of these proposals from Janak's first drafts till the final appearance of Pardubice crematorium can be seen as the main contribution of this work. Furthermore author adds both the chapter documenting the opinion changes relating to this building and the short outlook on the topic of cremation which gives reader a better understanding of period social context. Key words Crematory, Pardubice (town), architect Pavel Janák, Rondocubism, national style in architecture, cremation
