Josef Vojvodík

Koncepty idyly v díle Josefa Lady, jejich proměny a sémantika v kontextu meziválečné avantgardy

In his article, Josef Vojvodík newly interprets the work of Josef Lada, which was, in the majority of cases, interpreted in opposition to inter-war avant-garde production. In this study, in which the author searches for points of contact between Lada's artistic and literary works with the works of Czech avant-garde artists, such an opposition is avoided. One of the common features, according to Vojvodík, are the artist's concepts of idyll. He discovers and differentiates a total of three: the idyll of a nostalgic return to childhood; the idyll of harmonious co-existence of people and animals; and the idyll of night and unconsciousness. He finds similar concepts in the works of Jan Zrzavý, Jindřich Štyrský or Zdenek Rykr.
