Cíle předmětu
After the First World War, art throughout Europe underwent a reorientation. Order and calm were sought after the horrors of the war, which led in several waves to a return to traditional forms in art. In France and Italy, this involved a return to classical ideals, oriented towards antiquity. In Germany and Czechoslovakia, realistic forms, which dated back to the 19th century, again found an increasing following. This return to figurative painting was the result of a lengthy process of debate that culminated in the 'Neue Sachlichkeit' exhibition in Mannheim in 1925. The course deals with the diversity of supposedly traditional art forms between the wars, which cannot be explained by single influences. It is true, for example, that German-Bohemian artists in particular visibly took their cue from New Objectivity in Germany. Nevertheless, there were also independent forms of new realism in Czech art. The seminar explores these exchanges on the basis of important groups of works, artists and exhibitions in Central Europe between the wars.
