Beneath the Avant-Garde Surface: Josef Polák and the Formation of Slovak Visual Art Identity.

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This presentation explores the cultural resurgence in Czechoslovakia after World War I, focusing on the emergence of Košice modernism, also known as the East-Slovak avant-garde. This movement, characterized by the activities of progressive artists such as Eugen Krón, Anton Jaszusch, and Béla Uitz, transformed Košice into a vibrant artistic hub during the 1920s. Central to this development was Josef Polák, a cultural figure whose leadership at the East Slovak Museum fostered avant-garde expression while aligning with the Czechoslovak state's nation-building agenda in a region influenced by Hungarian culture. By situating Polák's contributions within the broader context of Czechoslovak cultural policy and interwar identity formation, the paper highlights the tensions between modernist movements and state-sponsored initiatives. It also addresses the perception of Slovak art within Czech lands, shaped by stereotypes of rural folklore. This study offers a nuanced understanding of the interplay between art, politics, and cultural reconstruction in postwar Czechoslovakia.
