The Geopolitics of Photography Exhibitions. Showcasing Soviet Photographers in Interwar Czechoslovakia
Parkmann, Fedora
2022 - English
This paper presents interwar exhibitions of photography as spaces of exchange, self-promotion, and competition for recognition in the heart of a global geopolitics of photography. Focusing on the participation of Soviet photographers at several large-scale international exhibitions organized in Czechoslovakia in the 1930s, it shows that both the Czech and Soviet organizers took advantage of exhibitions to serve their respective interests: The Soviet Union to strengthen its cultural diplomacy, and the Czech supporters of Soviet photography to popularize functional and committed photographic approaches among their fellow countrymen.

Infastructures of (the History of) Art
Buddeus, Hana; Lomová, J.
2022 - Czech
The introductory chapter of the proceedings of the VIIth Congress of Art Historians, held in September 2021 in Ústí nad Labem, presents the topic of infrastructures as one of the central themes of contemporary art and asks what place they have in the discipline of art history. The focus is on the temporally and locally conditioned context, everything that surrounds the work, what materially constitutes it and what enables or directly conditions its existence, what preserves it in time and what brings attention to it. Úvodní kapitola sborníku ze VII. sjezdu historiků a historiček umění, který se konal v září 2021 v Ústí nad Labem, předkládá téma infrastruktur jako jedno ze stěžejních témat současného umění a ptá se, jaké místo mají v disciplíně dějin umění. V centru pozornosti se ocitá dobově a místně podmíněný kontext, všechno co dílo obklopuje, co jej materiálně tvoří a co umožňuje nebo přímo podmiňuje jeho existenci, co jej uchovává v čase a co k němu přivádí pozornost.

The Lost Epitaph and Tombstone of Václav Hájek of Libočany
Mezihoráková, Klára
2022 - Czech
Beginning in the 17th century, the numerous authors of documents about Prague referred to the grave of Václav Hájek of Libočany (the Catholic priest and author of the famous Czech Chronicle, † 1553) with a tombstone and epitaph being located in the Church of Saint Anne at the Convent of Dominican Nuns in the Old Town in Prague. Despite this fact, both monuments disappeared without a trace during the 19th century. While the only information about the tombstone is that it was made of ‘yellow marble’ the descriptions of the epitaph have survived as well as two depictions from the later editions of the Czech Chronicle from 1718 and 1761. In spite of the incomplete documentation, the epitaph presents the best-identified part of the furnishings of the Convent of Saint Anne in Prague. This article points to the surprising fact, that these monuments were not lost in auctions after the cancellation of the monastery in 1782, as one would have expected, but probably nearly a hundred years later. Již od počátku 17. století zmiňovali četní autoři pragensií hrob Václava Hájka z Libočan (katolický kněz a autor slavné Kroniky české, † 1553) s náhrobkem a epitafem v kostele sv. Anny kláštera dominikánek na Starém Městě pražském. Navzdory této skutečnosti obě památky beze stopy zmizely během 19. století. Zatímco o náhrobníku víme jen to, že byl ze „žlutého mramoru“, k epitafu se dochovaly nejen popisy, ale i dvě vyobrazení v mladších vydáních Kroniky české, z let 1718 a 1761. I přes tuto neúplnou dokumentaci je epitaf nejlépe poznanou částí vybavení kláštera sv. Anny. Článek poukazuje na překvapivou skutečnost, že tyto monumenty nebyly ztraceny v dražbách po zrušení kláštera v roce 1782, jak by se dalo očekávat, ale pravděpodobně o skoro sto let později.

Ceiling Paintings and their Interpretation between Image and Material Structure
Mádl, Martin
2022 - Czech
The study is devoted to the problem of material in the structure of a work of art and its importance in art historical interpretation. Using the example of wall paintings, we consider the problem of grasping the role of material in art historical interpretation of a painting and the difficulties of professional dialogue between art historians on the one hand and restorers and technologists on the other. Studie je věnována problematice materiálu v struktuře uměleckého díla a jeho významu v uměleckohistorické interpretaci. Na příkladu nástěnných maleb se zamýšlíme nad problémem uchopení úlohy materiálu v uměleckohistorickém výkladu obrazu a na obtížemi odborného dialogu mezi historiky umění na straně jedné a restaurátory a technology na straně druhé.

Stone Statue of the Madonna with an Inscription – A Challenge Not Only for Epigraphers
Benešovská, Klára
2022 - Czech
Stone Statue of the Madonna with an Inscription – A Challenge Not Only for Epigraphers. The fragment of the stone Madonna with the Czech inscription „omylostywa” (Oh, Graceful), discovered in the town of Sázava and deposited in the local castle collections (originally a Benedictine monastery), was originally an enthroned Madonna connected to architecture. The drapery composition of the torzo and the inscription letter types enable one to date the statue from about 1400. The question arises of its placement: either in the accessible areas of the monastery or on a house or in a niche (chapel) located along the path leading to the monastery where it was always visible to the faithful who could pray there and venerate it. Furthermore, the hypothesis that indulgences would relate to the Madonna statue cannot be excluded. Torzo sochy, nalezené v okolí bývalého benediktinského kláštera a deponované dnes v tamějším depozitáři, náleželo podle nápisu „ó milostivá” trůnící mariánské soše s dítětem, spojené s architekturou, vzhledem k neopracované zadní straně. Způsob členění šatu madony a písmo vytesaného nápisu datují sochu kolem a po roce 1400. Madona byla snad umístěna v nice či kapli při bráně do kláštera nebo v klášterním areálu, přístupném pro poutníky, kteří se mohli k soše modlit, jak je k tomu vybízel nápis odkazující k známé staročeské mariánské antifoně „Zdrawa kralowno milosrdenstwie”. Je možné, že se sochou byly spojeny odpustky.

Infastructures of (the history of) art
Bartlová, A.; Buddeus, Hana
2022 - Czech
Infrastructures are one of the central themes of contemporary art, what place do they have in the discipline of art history? Proceedings of the VIIth Congress of Art Historians, held in September 2021 in Ústí nad Labem, discusses the topic in five chapters, revealing the mechanisms of collecting, exhibiting and reproducing art, art education, and the conservation of art monuments. The focus is on the temporally and locally conditioned context, everything that surrounds the work, what materially constitutes it and what enables or directly conditions its existence, what preserves it in time and what brings attention to it. Infrastruktury jsou jedním ze stěžejních témat současného umění, jaké místo mají v disciplíně dějin umění? Sborník ze VII. sjezdu historiků a historiček umění, který se konal v září 2021 v Ústí nad Labem, pojednává téma na půdorysu pěti kapitol, odkrývajících mechanismy sběratelství, vystavování a reprodukování umění, uměleckého vzdělávání a také konzervování a obnovy uměleckých památek. V centru pozornosti se ocitá dobově a místně podmíněný kontext, všechno co dílo obklopuje, co jej materiálně tvoří a co umožňuje nebo přímo podmiňuje jeho existenci, co jej uchovává v čase a co k němu přivádí pozornost.
