The Influence of Political Ideologies on Art in Russia between 1900-1930
VÁCHOVÁ, Gabriela
The bachelor thesis deals with the influence of political ideologies on artistic creation in Russia in the years 1900-1930. The Russian avant-garde emerged against the backdrop of major historical events, which were accompanied by significant political changes. The aim of the thesis is to explain and describe how the Russian art scene was influenced in terms of visual art. The thesis is divided into three themes. The first part outlines the historical developments that fundamentally influenced the cultural society in the first three decades of the 20th century. The second part focuses on the Russian avant-garde, in which important artistic movements are described along with several leading representatives. The last section examines the effects of political ideologies on the visual arts in the context of this historical context.

Slavíková, Kateřina ; Pech, Milan (advisor) ; Czumalo, Vladimír (referee)
Dvizhenie (1962-1976) Experimental formation of the group and its presentation outside the USSR Abstract The bachelor's thesis focuses on the Moscow art group Dvizhenie, which was formed mainly thanks to the founding member, Lev Nusberg, at the beginning of the 1960s. The group was active until 1976 and during that time the group became one of the most comprehensive and distinguished formations in Soviet art at the time, mainly due to its experimental work. The first part of the thesis is dedicated to the artistic development of the group. At the beginning, Dvizhenie drew from the Russian avant-garde of the 1920s, which shaped the first wave of kinetic art in Europe. The group's geometric works on paper gradually transfer into space. Eventually, Dvizhenie evolved in its work towards a kinetic sculpture which was experiencing a renaissance throughout and beyond Europe in the 1950s. Movement as an artistic expression led the group to experiment with cybernetics - its members combined this new technology with modern psychology focused on the perception of artworks and scenography. The group's peak was cyber theatre, which primarily wanted to engage all the audience's senses. The second part of the thesis focuses on the relationship of Dvizhenie with the totalitarian policy of the USSR. Surprisingly, the...

How Invitation to a Beheading is Made. Theatrical and Polemic Elements in Vladimic Nabokov's Novel
Lenz, Linda ; Svatoň, Vladimír (advisor) ; Dohnal, Josef (referee) ; Pechal, Zdeněk (referee)
The work focuses on the analysis of the poetics of Vladimir Nabokov's novel Invitation to a Beheading in terms of its cultural context. Specifically deals with its relation to the Soviet theatrical avant-garde, with mythopoetic symbolism and early avant-garde. We approach to the novel as a parody of the post-revolutionary avant-garde Soviet theater experiments. Special attention is paid to the fact that due to the theatralization of the text, i.e. assimilation of the novel space with the theatricals, diegesis of Invitation to a Beheading is divided into two equal opposing worlds, each of which represents particular poetics. World built around main character of Cincinnatus is comparable to symbolism, namely to the symbol and symbolistic perception of Andrei Bely. The central principle of this reality is semiotization of the world. The surrounding fictional world creates its opposite as it is shaped by the principle of desemiotization which - as a central aspect of formalistic-futuristic avant- garde - systematically dismantles hero's world. However neither of these worlds is winning. In the end it is the synthesis, which helps the hero get emancipated from the novel's world. The Invitation to a Beheading can therefore be interpreted as original artist's world manifesto which through presentation and...
