Reproduction as a problem of ontology and the value of an aesthetic object
RIGANOVÁ, Šárka
This thesis looks into problems of sensory indistinguishable Copy in ontology and evaluation of an aesthetic object in the field of fine arts. For this purpose it presents and compares chosen theoretical approaches of - Nelson Goodman, Reinold Schmücker, Günther Patzig, Eddy Zemach and Denise Dutton - on ontology of a work of art, an original and a Copy. It further observes approaches and solutions in the field of evaluating works of art and their Copies by already mentioned Nelson Goodman and then Arthur Koestler, Mark Sagoff, Kendall L. Waltonn and Tomáš Kulka, with emphasis on the theory of aesthetic dualism by Tomáš Kulka. His theory of aesthetic dualism, together with distinguishing identity of a work of art and its tangible holder (artefact; above all G. Patzig, E. Zemach), is initial for the suggestion of a new approach through aesthetic triadism. Aesthetic triadism suggests the solution of a problem of evaluating works of art and Copies with three values: aesthetic and artistic value (related to the work of art) and the value of authenticity (related to the artefact). This approach is afterwards confronted with mentioned theories of evaluation and then used in relation to aesthetic object, its constitution and evaluation. Aesthetic triadism leads to satisfying solutions of main and partial questions that are asked in this thesis - it leads to a conclusion that evaluation of a work of art and a Copy can be in theory comparable by its aesthetic and artistic value and different evaluation can be restricted only on the value of authenticity. On the other hand, in specific reception of works of art or Copies the value of authenticity can influence constitution and evaluation of an aesthetic object so much that it leads to a different view of an aesthetic object both in its aesthetic and artistic value.

European Painters of Native Tribes
Zámečníková, Kristýna ; Rychlík, Martin (advisor) ; Soukup, Martin (referee)
The subject of a thesis is theoretical analysis of artistic work of two painters who as first ones showed in early modern Europe the visual appearance of the American native tribes. French Jacques le Moyne de Morgues and English John White were colonization pioneers of the New world in the second half of 16th century. Their work was extended through engravings of Theodor de Bry, Flemish engraver, after their return to the Old continent. Though the engraver purposely manipulated with their pictures - he edited the images and added various details. The thesis also deals with question what was the main intention of the Flemish engraver. Methodological resource was collecting information and text interpretation. The purpose of the thesis is familiarization with life and work of the European painters who as first ones depicted American Indian tribes and with activity of Theodor de Bry who extended their work in Europe. Key words: The New world, Indians, colonies, painters, artistic value.

The Problem of Art Forgery
PLÁŠILOVÁ, Lenka
This bachelor thesis will deal with the issue of counterfeit and stylishly imitated works of art, their identity with a focus on theoretical problems that the existence of falsified artworks brings. Firstly, the most famous examples of revealed artistic falsum will be introduced. Consequently, I will analyze aesthetic and ethical problems caused by the phenomenon of artistic falsification. An important part of this work will be formulation of artworks' identity problems, especially in relation to the Anglo-American aesthetics. One of the most important sources for this work will be a monograph by Tomáš Kulka: Umění a falzum (2004) and his conception of dualism in aesthetic theory. In addition to Kulka's approach, I will mention authors such as Nelson Goodman, Denis Dutton, Mark Sagoff and Arthur Koestler. The aim of this work is to evaluate a functionality of presented approaches to the given issue.

Moral Responsibility of Art
Bolková, Anežka ; Stejskal, Jakub (advisor) ; Hlobil, Tomáš (referee)
In my work I survey the debate about the legitimacy of moral criticism of art, which has developed in the 1990s in the field of analytic aesthetics. In three sections, I examine three basic positions in the debate - autonomism, moralism and immoralism - which, each in its own way, answer the basic question that motivates the whole debate, namely: what is the influence of the moral value of the work on its aesthetic or artistic value. I point out that the concepts of aesthetic and artistic values are not properly defined, which is the reason why the proponents of the various positions not only cannot come to an agreement, but they also cannot agree on the point of their disagreement.

The phenomenon of the falsifications of the objects of fine arts
Chvojková, Veronika ; Švestka, Jiří (advisor) ; Půtová, Barbora (referee)
The thesis focuses on theoretical analysis of the cultural phenomenon of artwork forgery. It describes the history of forgery in painting and sculpting in the Western society. The analysis is based mostly on philosophy and history of art, psychology, and history. The culturological approach is used, mainly in the interdisciplinary mapping of the historical and psychological process of artwork forgery. The thesis analyses contemporary approaches to the identity of artwork and its forgery, it also depicts partial problems of artwork forgery. To challenge this phenomenon, famous examples of forgers are used and decribed, such as Alceo Dossena, Han van Meegeren, Eric Hebborn, and Wolfgang Beltracchi. The situation and legal concenquences for forgers in the Czech Republic are also described. The aim of this thesis is to offer a complex overview of the phenomenon of artwork forgery.

Ontology of the aesthetic object and the value of the artwork, reproductions and forgery
RIGANOVÁ, Šárka
This bachelor thesis is focused on issues originals and copies of works of art (reproductions and forgeries), namely problems of constitution of the aesthetic object and its value. In this purpose I compare Nelson Goodman´s theory of autheticity of works of art to Eddy Zamach´s theory of identity of works of art. I compare these theories with Roman Ingarden´s theory of aesthetic object. I am focusing too on influence of non-aesthetic´s informations about artefacts (originals, reproduction, forgery) on constitution of aesthetic object and its judgment of value marginally.

The development of art and its attitude to society in work of Friedrich Nietzsche and Theodor Adorno
Váňová, Veronika ; Holeček, Tomáš (advisor) ; Paulíček, Miroslav (referee)
1 Abstract Friedrich Nietzsche's work is interwoven with his idea that all art is formed by two deities, the two elements, Apollonian and Dionysian. Apollonian element, the world of individuation is a beautiful picture and a dream world, Dionysian element, the world unity, is the thunderous roaring tone music. Top art was in the form of Greek tragedy, it was perfect harmony of both elements. The art was at that time, the most perfect from all its parts of development. However, there have been thoughts, uncomprehending beauty of both forces and wanted to destroy them. All aspects of life events have been understood historically, critically, objectively, everything has been secular. Newly created form of the art, which can not be regarded as true art, because it lacks the elements of art, was called attic comedy. Contemporary culture is based on ideas that belong among others to Socrates and so it is called Socratic. Culture has the opportunity to recover and help the rebirth of true art, just listen Dionysus singing, which is already awake and must be just detected and informed. Theodor Adorno speaks about the mass society, which, through monopoly controls all that happens in it. The society is doing exactly what monopoly wants. Society is material, without imagination, the ability to experience, ability to...
