Jan Kotěra and the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague
Original language description
Although Kotěra’s tenure at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague was longer than his time at the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design, there is far less awareness of his work there. This may partly be due to the interruption of World War I, which limited the opportunities for presenting the newly founded school of architecture and disrupted the studies of many conscripted students. In his 1958 monograph Jan Kotěra a jeho doba (Jan Kotěra and His Time), Otakar Novotný briefly mentions that at ‘the Academy of Fine Arts, Kotěra educated many Czech architects, whose work was not realized until the 1930s.’ He lists architects such as Klement Šillinger and Josef Marek, Josef Kalous, Bohuslav Fuchs, Josef Štěpánek, Jaromír Krejcar, Václav Kopecký, František Lýdia Gahura, Jaroslav Kabeš, Karel Kotas, and Kamil Roškot. Novotný also notes that after the revolution, Kotěra’s school began to attract technically oriented students, including Adolf Benš, František Fiala, and Vladimír Wallenfels. But what was Kotěra’s school of architecture like? How had his concept evolved since his studio days at the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design? What was its presentation, its standing within the school, and what was the everyday life there like?
