Czech modernisms as pioneers and not epigones? Networks between Prague, Paris, Berlin, Vienna, Budapest and L'viv
Original language description
"Czech Cubism" is a term that has entered the Czech national canon of modern art history. Since the 1960s, Czech art historians and cultural figures have also tried to establish it as a unique phenomenon in the international context. However, the name Cubism, which was originally coined to refer to the Parisian modernist movement, tends to exclude the idea of local specificity and originality. The works of the "Czech Cubists" included in Douglas Cooper's 1970 exhibition The Cubist Epoch in Los Angeles were described by the American art historian Rosalind Krauss as the result of the orgy of academicism that the new style unleashed throughout Europe. This paper will not deal with modernism within the boundaries defined by the names of themovements, and will avoid the context of influences transmitted unidirectionally from the "center" to the "periphery". Using literary historian Laura Doyle's concept of Inter-imperiality, the paper will explore how the co-creation of artistic "empires" and their stratified artistic economies shaped inter-imperial and extra-imperial rivalries, and ask what role minor cultural centres on the European margins played in challenging this world order. Through several case studies, it will outline the entangled nature of artistic and cultural exchange before 1918 within the network of relationships between Prague, Paris, Berlin, Vienna, Budapest, and L'viv.
