Czech Art
What are some of the more detailed differences between the Czech Republic and other European countries in art?
and what are 3 or more unique art forms that exist in the czech culture?
The three distinctive differences between the Czech republic and other European countires: Czech cubism, Orphism, and 1940s.
Czech cubism
It represents a pinnacle in architecture and applied art, which has never been achieved elsewhere.
The fact that Emil Filla and Bohumil Kubišta are among the most robust figures of Czech cubism brooks no argument. Filla’s work even contains a strong reflection on both military conflicts. He had his own experience in the Buchenwald concentration camp, which affected him deeply. He produced what is perhaps his best cubist still life during his stay in Holland in the years 1914-18, where Dutch painting of the 17th century made a big impression on him.
Bohumil Kubišta was a passionate defender of modern art and a critic of the old styles. He built on his deep knowledge of optics and the physiology of vision, which he then applied to elaborate canvas compositions.
Antonín Procházka made the beauty and poetry of everyday things apparent. His distinctive work is based on a feeling for beautiful painting material. He used old techniques of painting with the aid of hot wax (encaustic) to express himself.
The essence of Josef Čapek’s personality (1887-1945) consisted of deep social feeling and humanism. It was because of his opinions and political activity that he was arrested by the Nazis in 1939 and deported to a concentration camp.
Otto Gutfreund (1889-1927) occupied a privileged position in cubist sculpture. His statues correspond to parallel trends in painting. His polychrome sculptures, which had no parallel in world sculpture at that time, bear witness to the difficulty of man, civilization and work.
Enigmatic orphism
František Kupka (1871-1957) began with geometrical abstraction. His concept is called orphism. It expresses a musical rhythm through the motion of a colored line or the dynamic gradation of colored areas.
Besides this world-renowned figure, several other Czech painters devoted themselves to abstract painting in this period, e.g. Vojtěch Preissig (1873-1944) and František Foltýn (1891-1976).
Three important groups of artists gradually formed who brought artistic life to the new great themes of civilization. Skupina 42 – “Group 42″ (František Gross, Kamil Lhoták, Jan Kotík) endeavored to depict the role of the individual in modern civilization, which changes man into a mere machine and steals his distinctive individuality. An all-embracing vision of destruction was encoded into the program of the Skupina Ra – “Ra Group.” Its work was most intertwined with the imaginative line of Czech pre-war art, e.g. Václav Tikal, Bohdan Lacina and Josef Istler.
The Sedm v říjnu (Seven in October) group appeared with the “aesthetic of the naked person” and included artists such as Václav Hejna, Josef Liesler and František Jirousek.
