Art of the People and art for the People: Folk Craft as a Model for Czechoslovak Modernist Design
Original language description
The dominant narrative of art history presents the situation of Czech (or Czechoslovak) applied art at the beginning of the 1920s as an irreconcilable polarization of two approaches: a conservatively nationalist vs. an innovatively cosmopolitan, an opposition of traditional crafts vs. industrial standard production, decorative against pure and elementary. According to this stereotype, avant-garde artists opposed local tradition and local folk models and began to introduce a concept of supranational, universal modernist. This study sets out to amend this largely codified antagonism and to present, with concrete examples, an interpretation on which folk art and folklore inspiration are shown as a direct model for modernist tendencies. We will examine and designate themes and areas where folklore, folk arts and crafts and folk building could have served as models for modernist design.
